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

Accomodation: comfy bed, nice linen, rooms are fresh and clean and the shower is live the Vic falls :) only thing is it would have been nice to have a TV in the room for $80 (but that's just me). Restaurant: the food at their restaurant is outstanding. Some of the best I've had in Zambia (they made everything exactly... More

I had the pleasure of spending 10 nights at Zig Zag this nov 2012. I found the entire staff extremely kind, friendly and very helpful. The food is good and well priced. The location is perfect for many nearby excursions. As well as walking distance to town. Thank you to the staff of Zig Zag

Zig zag is situated on the edge of livingstone town centre about a 10-15 minute walk to the main part of town. It's a motel style hotel with nice gardens and a small pool. The staff were friendly and helpful. It's in a quiet location though we did hear train horns a couple of times in the night. Our double... More
