4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2012

Zigzag was one of the best places I stayed in when I was in Africa! Genuinely friendly and helpful staff and clean rooms with the most wonderful showers. They have a beautiful and very peaceful garden and a good breakfast. If I ever return to Livingstone again I will definitely stay in Zigzag again. More

I've stayed at Zig Zags a couple of times - once on my own and once with my father. The rooms are very clean and comfortable with mozzie nets and air con. The lodge is peaceful, located a little outside town on the road to Vic Falls. The breakfast is great and the food from the restauraunt is tasty and... More

My mom & I stayed at Zig Zags on our recent trip to Zambia. The staff was incredibly helpful in welcoming us and helping us plan our time at Vic Falls. The rooms were clean and basic, with mosquito nets for every bed. The air-con worked well and the shower had great water pressure and heat. Breakfast is for real:... More

The owner, Lilly, runs a top notch guest house / B&B. The rooms are clean and very practically laid out. The nets over the beds are the best I've seen -- a solid steel frame giving you much space to move inside the bed, unlike the single-point nets which often touch your body, giving mosquitoes access. The staff are very... More

This review is long overdue! I have a list of places I want to visit before I die and Vic Falls is one of it. So I cannot not visit Vic Falls since I now live in Harare! I needed to be out of Zimbabwe but got tired of Jo’burg, so Livingstone was perfect being just next to the Falls.... More

I want to say first that the staff is lovely and it’s a great place for a good value decent meals. However, I don't think that this is a good place for solo travellers particularly women. On a recent stay I had to leave the B&B and check into a nearby hotel for fear of my safety. An intruder peered... More

Firstly, my name is Lynne, not Lilly, and anyone is welcome to contact me to discuss the contents of this review. While I am sorry that any guest feels this way about Zig Zag, I strongly dispute that it is not a safe place for single women travellers, and we do have many single female guests. Every night we have... More

My family (parents and older brother) came to visit from the States while I was living in Zambia and we wanted something a bit nicer and quieter than a backpackers but not quite as extravagant as the Royal! Zig Zag was perfect for us and I would highly recommend it to others looking for a reasonably priced, well-maintained place to... More

Basic but clean, quiet, friendly and safe - this b&b was perfect for our two night stay in central Livingstone to see the sights before heading out to a river lodge. The rooms are small, but comfortable, and the hot water bottles were very welcome as we were staying at the time of year when the night time temperature is... More

We just returned home after a too-brief stay at Zigzag during our visit to Livingstone and Victoria Falls, and were completely charmed by this friendly, unpretentious B&B. We enjoyed several interesting chats with Lynne, the owner, and she and her staff were incredibly helpful in providing detailed advice about things to see and do and in booking our sunset cruise...
