I am on dial up in Zimbabwe and LCT will not load for sure. So I am asking Julie to post this and have to keep it short I am using the Hotel Managers private computer.
Singita was the RIGHT CHOICE no doubt in my mind. The bush is so far more appealing, green, neat waterholes with big boulders, hills and valley and far more animals. We LOVED the game drive here. Also the rooms at Ebony were truly incredible. I could not see one at Boulders as they were completely full and we had to leave at 7.00 am. I will post more on Singita but everything was perfect.
In the meantime check out this property. Today we
toured Victoria Falls and then Royal Livingston
(Zambia side)and Ker and Downey put us in a place
called Stanely and Livingston. This is a FANTASTIC place. I will need to check prices and have everyone think about this but I am in heaven here. It is situated in a game park as well but is a little slice of heaven. I just asked for the web site for this place and have typed it here. I ahve not been to the website. It can be taken on a room only or all inclusive basis. They will transfer to Victoria Falls and pick up again. It takes 10 - 15 minutes to get here.

Ken took pictures of Royal Livinstone, nice new hotel with nice rooms and then the Victoria Hotel, Beautiful classic hotel, great main rooms and grounds BUT The rooms were not neat at all. Maybe I am spoiled after Royal Malewane and Ebony and this place but they were almost depressing to me. They have a new wing so I
asked to see that but the rooms looked the same just slightly bigger. I highly suggest if we still stay with the Victoria Falls anyone planning on upgrading should save their money. Also twin beds (almost excusively in the new section) or doubles in the main hotel. Only a few kings so you cannot be sure of getting one of those.
You can all decide once I provide all the pictures and give my reviews. Whatever you decide is fine with me but I do recommend you consider this property. I am now about to go and sample their dinner. By the way for the wine lovers off the bar they have a big wine cellar - you can go in here and pick out your wine for the night. Ken took a picture of it.
Okay, I must go, Singita is going to knock your socks off both the rooms, the service, the food and ambiance and the game drives. WE can do as much together as we want they will be 100% flexible with us. It can be like we are all at one camp if we want. They have a wonderful attitude.
May not be able to post again, off to Botswana
tomorrow probably no access at all. Remember I cant even use a hairdryer. Sorry this is short but at least you are hearing from me.
