Fodor's Expert Review Jollyboys
34 Kanyanta Rd., Livingstone, Southern, Zambia
The entire design of this small establishment is user-friendly, inviting, and certainly aimed at both private relaxation and easy interaction with other travelers. Superbly maintained and professionally run, the lodge offers a variety of room types to suit every budget and need. The restaurant serves the usual hamburger but also has a number of surprises on the menu, including a full roast on Sundays and exotic vegetarian soups made from local sweet potatoes and Indian spices. A kilometer away from the backpackers, just behind the Royal Livingstone Golf Course, is Jollyboys Camp, which is slightly more relaxed and family-friendly.
PROS
- very central location
- free daily transfers to the Falls
- social atmosphere
CONS
- the lodge and camp are for backpackers, so are pretty basic
- not for those looking for tranquil accommodations surrounded by nature
- can get a bit rowdy
