Pretty much everything you see in the photos is spot on. We had a ground floor room initially right next to our buildings entrance. We enjoy sitting outside on the little patio chairs. Standard room is good sized, large bed, very large bathroom and counter. all the things I look for when researching places. Staff and security guys very friendly and helpful. One reception guy helped us decide whether to ship or not (kinda expensive). TV reception initially was very bad. after speaking with the front desk and deciding we didn't like greeting everyone that came and went in our building we were moved to another room that night. 2nd room faced the wooded area in back and much more peaceful and secluded. watched the animals (zebras, monkeys, antelope) wander thru in the morning. Of all the places we visited the morning buffet was the BEST, so much to choose from. Ate most of our meals by the pool (limited menu) as we were just too tired to stay up for evening dinners. Highly recommend going to the Royal Livingstone Hotel for sundowners, its an amazing property right on the Zambezi. walking from the Avani is actually easy as its closer than I thought. definitely would stay here again, I cannot afford the Royal Livingstone :((
