Okavango Lodge is at Plot 518 on Limulunga Road in Livingstone, one street behind the Mosi-oa-Tunya main road. That position is the whole proposition: quiet enough to sleep, close enough to walk into town in five minutes.
Best for
Budget and mid-range travellers who want to be in Livingstone town rather than out on the river road, and self-caterers, because the executive rooms have a kitchenette. Not for anyone who wants a riverside setting: the Zambezi lodges are several kilometres away and cost accordingly.
Location
Area 217, Plot 518 Limulunga Road, Livingstone. The lodge puts the Shoprite shopping centre at a five-minute walk and Victoria Falls at a fifteen-minute drive, and names the Zambezi Cafe and Kubu Cafe as neighbours.
Rooms and style at Okavango Lodge
Double and twin rooms with a television and a fridge, and executive rooms with a separate living room and a kitchenette. All have private bathrooms and air conditioning. The lodge does not publish a room count, so we do not give one.
Facilities at Okavango Lodge
Wi-Fi throughout, private bathrooms and air conditioning in the rooms. The lodge does not list a restaurant, a bar, a pool or parking, and we have not assumed them.
Trade-offs and what to know
No published restaurant or bar. The cafes next door are part of why the position works.
No published room count, no published check-in or check-out times, and no published parking.
The lodge also refers to tented accommodation for budget travellers. Confirm which product you are booking.
Being one street back from Mosi-oa-Tunya Road is quieter than being on it, but this is still central Livingstone.
Getting there and getting around
Livingstone is 470 km south-west of Lusaka on the T1, with Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula International Airport a few kilometres from town. Limulunga Road runs parallel to the Mosi-oa-Tunya main road, so you are a short turn off the town’s main artery. Victoria Falls is about 10 km south; taxis and activity transfers cover it.
Explore the area
Victoria Falls and Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park are the main draw, and the Livingstone Museum, the Railway Museum and the Mukuni craft market are all in town within walking distance of Limulunga Road. For more, see our Livingstone pages.
Before you book
Say whether you want a standard double or an executive room with the kitchenette, because they are different products. Ask whether you are booking a room or a tent. Ask about parking if you are driving. And confirm check-in times, which are not published.
