The Royal Livingstone Victoria Falls Zambia Hotel by Anantara invites travelers to experience Africa’s greatest natural wonder during its most intimate season. From mid-August through December, visitors can enjoy exclusive access to breathtaking sights and adventures at the UNESCO-listed Victoria Falls.
Nature’s Changing Masterpiece
As crowds thin after peak season, the Falls reveal their many faces – from thundering cascades to exposed rock formations. This transitional period offers:
- Access to the legendary Devil’s Pool, where adventurous swimmers can peer over the 108-meter drop (seasonal availability)
- Prime conditions for white-water rafting in Batoka Gorge with challenging Grade IV-V rapids
- Unique opportunities to swim beneath the Falls during low water periods
Wildlife Encounters Without the Crowds
The drier months bring exceptional wildlife viewing:
- Game drives spot white rhinos, zebras and giraffes gathering near water sources
- Over 415 bird species can be observed, from Pygmy Kingfishers to African Pied Wagtails
- Sunset cruises reveal hippos, elephants and crocodiles along the Zambezi’s receding banks
“Shoulder season offers what money can’t buy – space and solitude at one of Earth’s greatest wonders,” says GM Laurie Burr. “Our guests experience Victoria Falls in its most authentic form.”
