We stayed at the Camp, which I was told was much quieter than the other spot a bit closer to city center. Great little camp- we rented a two bed room with our own bathroom for about $50 a night. Well worth it- even though our bathroom door didn't shut! You can buy cheap wi-fi access in the common area,... More

For starters: there are two Jollyboys in Livingstone: the backpackers behind the museum, and Jollyboys Camp, close to the golf court. We first stayed a week in Jollyboys backpackers, behind the museum. This place has everything you need: bar & restaurant, pool, laundry service, wifi, friendly staff & off street parking. But, if you're in for some more relaxed &... More

I loved this place, loved the pool, loved the bar, loved the staff, loved livingstone, loved zambia. Nuff said. Go see for yourself. More

Nell ABJ pretty much said everything I would have said. There are likely prettier spots along the river, but Jollyboys can't be beat for central town location. If you stay out on the river you will likely need to pay for a taxi for every excursion.The staff at Jollyboys was also super helpful in planning day as well as multiday... More

Jollyboys campsite in Livingstone is not the International Backpackers Hostel, but their "other" hostel behind the Royal Livingstone Golf Course. I was traveling with a group of friends and was told that this was the "quieter and more relaxed" version of Jollyboys Backpackers. Indeed it was, just what we were looking for. There is a camping site, but we stayed... More

Jollyboys has really figured out how to run a hostel. Unlike many backpackers that I've stayed at, it is well-organized, professional, and welcoming. The facilities are clean, colorful, and comfortable and you can find whatever you need there. It's a great place to hang out whether it's by the pool or on one of the dozens of huge pillows they...

This is a great place to stay if you are looking for a relaxed setting and a place to make interesting friends, as it accommodates backpackers from all over. The grounds are cool - lots of communal space with outdoor bar, pool and lounge area. I opted for single room with private bathroom since I was traveling alone, but I... More

I travelled with a party of 19 undergraduate students from the UK and stayed at Jolleyboys for three nights. The stay was pleasant with warm and friendly staff who always ensured that our needs were accommodated for. The stay at Jolleyboys enhanced our stay in Livingstone and we look forward to bringing our next cohort of students to Jolleyboys next... More

Great environment at Jolley Boys! Was there at the beginning and end of my zambia trip (end of Feb-March 2011) since i flew into livingstone. Made a few drinking buddies in the dorms, chalets were also nice as we had 2 nights in one. Bar is always lively and stocked with Mosi, football on tv. great memories here. Food was... More
