Once again in passing through Livingstone we stayed a night here and called in a couple of additional times for meals with friends. It is such a welcoming place, with good basic food and a lovely garden. We did find it took a while for us to obtain sandwiches for our party of 9 one lunchtime, but they were very... More

If you're looking for luxurious accommodations, stay at the Royal Livingstone. If you are looking for great and friendly service and assistance with your local activities with a clean room and plenty of hot water to shower with, ZigZag is the place to stay. We arrived about 1.5 hours late because of a flight delay in South Africa. Rafael was... More

We stayed here for a weekend in May having enjoyed a tasty lunch in their very nice shady garden in April. The rooms are not exactly large by any means, but are furnished with thoughtful and practical details, including canopy (although a little grubby) mosquito net and plenty of open storage. The service is excellent and Lynne is respectful to... More

We stayed at Zig Zag for one night in May 2013. And that was well and truly long enough. 130 USD for a room you could hardly move in , with ripped sheets and curtains that didn't close. I was being hopeful that breakfast would make up for the room but I was disappointed again. Unfortunately the fairly nice sounding... More

On arrival I have to admit to be a bit sceptic when seeing the location. But once this first impression passed I could realize how well managed and well organized this place is. The service is very good and the manager Lynne is very attentive to everyone on the premises. She has a lot of respect to everyone including own... More

We stayed at Zig Zag for about 9 days in December visiting our daughter who is working in Livingstone. If you want a plush hotel up by the Falls this isn't it BUT for a budget hotel just a 10 min walk into centre of Livingstone this is great value. The staff friendly, service good, a nice bar, good basic... More

We stayed at Zigzag for a few days after some time working in rural Zambia - it was a pleasure to stay in the clean and pleasant rooms, taking breakfast in its pretty gardens and finally having access to decent bathrooms and hot water! But the main attraction of Zigzag was the helpfulness of the staff. Lynn, the owner, and... More

My husband and I stayed here between Christmas and New Years, in part at the recommendation of an acquaintance, in part because of previous Trip Advisor reviews. As other reviews indicate, rooms are clean; shower is great and water is hot; there is a.c. If you're a coffee lover, this is your place (because much of Zambia lives on Nescafe... More

My family and me stayed here over the Christmas break and it's fair to say we all loved it! The restaurant serves excellent food at very reasonable prices, the staff are all extremely friendly and good at their job. It was noticeable when Linn (sorry if I've spelt it wrong!) the owner wasn't there that everything still ran like clockwork.... More

I stayed at the Zig Zag for a few days in October 2012 and enjoyed it very much. While the rooms are a bit basic when compare to western style hotels, my room was perfectly adequate for my needs. The grounds are very large and well kept. The restaurant was also very nice and the food was great. The best... More
