The Bushfront is a quaint little bush getaway in Livingstone on the Zambian side of the Victoria Falls, and is open all year round.. It’s conveniently close to the falls (6km), the Zambezi River (5 minutes), Livingstone Town (5km) and the Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park (5 minutes). It’s just off the main road between Livingstone Town and the falls and easily accessible by car. The lodge offers ‘meet and greet’ transfers from the airport and borders (Zimbabwe and Botswana).
The lodge is very family friendly with some rooms designed especially for families with extra beds in them. The dining and bar area is also right next to the pool, allowing parents to keep an eye on the little ones while relaxing in the shade.
The grounds are surrounded by dense African woodland with abundant (and very active) birdlife. Another big plus is the sound of elephants trumpeting and hippos grunting that can be heard from the lodge. This is truly Africa.
The lodge has a restaurant that offers breakfast, great pub-lunch type meals and dinner. There is also a separate DSTV lounge and bar area.
The Livingstone/Victoria Falls area is known as the adventure capital of the world - making The Bushfront the ideal base for adventure seekers, sightseers and those looking for something different. The lodge is ideal for self-drivers as it is easily accessible in both two and four wheel drive vehicles. Transfers to the various activities are usually included and a taxi service is available from the lodge.
If you’re after adventure-filled days and great wildlife viewing followed by good food and a quiet retreat in the evenings – The Bushfront is definitely for you.
Accommodation
The rooms are big and airy and each chalet is set well apart from the next – ensuring that extra bit of privacy. Prepare to fall in love with the showers. Built out of masses of rocks with a cascading flow of water, these mini Victoria Falls offer a truly African experience.
