Amazing rhino walk experience with Zinga Packpackers. Great organisation and sense of service. Very friendly, they did their best to find us the best deals. Definitely recommend the rhino tour and the hostel too!

Great rhino walk with Zinga Packpackers

We really enjoyed our stay, it’s basic but there is everything you need and the people are soo friendly. We loved the atmosphere and the kindness of those people working there. They even helped us wash our clothes!
I can strongly recommend it :)


Very good, we enjoyed our stay

We had a fantastic 2 nights at Zinga. It is a little walk out of town but it’s great!! The manager is the most friendly guy ever met. Everything you want is possible just ask for it. Would definitely go there again.

Best staff you can imagine 

I was at zinga for a day and a half (had some bus issues in Lusaka). Very easy to find from the bus station and the staff was very friendly! Thank you for a pleasant stay! I will be back soon to see you guys!The breakfast was included and it was toast and fried eggs with coffee or teAThe showers are 50/50 hot or cold. Mine was coldWifi is moderate.. can search for things but not listen to music

Very friendly staff

Extremely friendly staff, especially Gift and Bornwell. They are always eager to help with anything you need or any questions you have. Solid location, close enough to walk into town and just a short taxi to the Falls. Thank you again for hosting!!

Great Place to Stay!!

We highly recommend Zinga for backpackers! It was a short 15 minute walk from the bus station when we arrived from Lusaka. We stayed 3 nights during the low season - the first 2 nights we camped in our own tent and then were very kindly offered a night in one of the chalets at no extra cost. There are good spots for camping at the back part of the property and the chalet was great with its own private shower. The overall theming of the place is awesome with lots of cool designs and is all very well kept. There's a large fully stocked kitchen outside (all utensils, pots, burners etc.) as well as a smaller one inside. We cooked every night we were there and there's a small market less than a minute walk away to buy stuff. The bar area is set up right beside the pool and stocks beers and ciders at reasonable prices. Breakfast and wifi were great and can't say enough about how kind and helpful the staff were! They'll happily organise activities at the falls or a taxi and helpful information about the town too. It's also owned/run by Zambians, unlike the other British ones in Livingstone.

Excellent backpackers spot

had a great stay in a triple room with mosquito nets.  breakfast in the morning was reasonably priced and tasty.  staff was great, and booked everything we asked for quickly.  Michael is a fantastic resource for things to do around Livingstone, including the magical Rapids 21, a beautiful beach off of the Zambezi which is hidden in the forest.

Great staff, friendly atmosphere

Staying at Zinga Backpackers was like staying with old friends. It was a very short stay, but I loved everything about this place from the decor to its layout, the quotes on the walls and my Obama hut which had an outdoor shower. The bed was very comfortable and talking a cold shower under the hot Zambian sun was very refreshing

Good Vibe, Great People

Really great staff. All staff were open and accomodating to me during my stay. The private room I booked was what appeared to be a very traditional hut and a nice change to the norm. Hostel is in a great location. It was a bit lacking in atmosphere during my stay as it was low on guests but all staff were working hard on the gardens and looking to be sprucing things up for the busier season ahead. All in all, lots of potential here. Also, great service in booking me onto last minute activities. 

Potential is there 

Easy going staff and always willing to help. I truly recommend this hotel for people who want to enjoy Livingstone.
