SafariRoamer
Described as "Zambia's original backpackers", Jollyboys has operated in Livingstone town since 1995 and is built around a strong social atmosphere — a bar, pool and movie nights — rather than a boutique product. It runs a free daily shuttle to the falls, about 8km away.
What sets it apart
Zambia's longest-running backpacker hostel, with a free daily falls shuttle included.
Who it suits

About the photographs
The pictures on this page are stock photographs chosen to suggest the kind of setting this property is in. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify exactly where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had stayed there. For pictures of the actual rooms, see the property's own site.
