Health Info
- Malaria: the hotel is located in a malaria area, and we urge you to consult your doctor about malarial prophylactics before visiting

- During summer, daytime high temperatures average 30°C/86°F, while night-time lows seldom drop below 14°C/57°F

Best Times to Travel
- A year-round travel destination, with hot summers and mild winters
- February to May: last months of the rainy season, when the Victoria Falls have their highest flow and are at their most impressive
- June to August: warm days and cool evenings, with little to no rain, but plenty of water still flows over the falls
- October to November: dry months, when the falls are at their lowest – but without the dense spray from the falls, visitors are afforded a clear view
- Water flow over Zimbabwe’s side of the falls is permanent, with the volume changing according to the seasons
Laundry
A laundry bag, along with a laundry list, is found inside your bedroom cupboard. Please leave your completed list and filled bag on the bed before 09h00 – this will enable us to return your items by the afternoon. Dry-cleaning is also available daily, except on Sundays and public holidays.
Gratuity Recommendation
Tipping is at your discretion. Should you choose to leave a gratuity for the staff of Stanley & Livingstone Boutique Hotel, you can have this added to your final account, payable on departure, for your convenience. As a guideline, we suggest US$15 per guest per day.
