About Jollyboys Backpackers


Hoscar Winner

Zambia's original backpackers and still one of the best in Africa! Just steps away from the museum, markets, banks, grocery stores and all of the fun of Africa! The Victoria Falls are only 8kms away but we do a FREE shuttle every morning at 10am!

If our online availability is low... or we appear to be fully booked... then please phone, email or skype us (backpackzambia) for last minute availability. We will do all in our power to make your stay in Livingstone as amazing as possible!

Jollyboys has been catering for budget travellers since 1995 and is still owner run and operated. Our staff epitomise the extent of Zambian hospitality and our service is second to none. Try out our TRAVEL SHOP for great safari specials and all of the adrenaline that Livingstone has to offer!

Our rooms and showers are spotlessly clean, the beers are icy cold and the pool is ultra refreshing. So soak up some sunshine (there's lots of it!), laze in a hammock, munch on some mangoes (there's lots of those too!), and just enjoy!
