I stayed at Jollyboys Backpackers for a two-week work trip, and it really became my home for that time in Zambia. From the start, it felt easy to settle in. There’s something about the space that is welcoming without trying too hard. It just naturally feels comfortable and lived-in, in the best way. The reception team: Stella, Ruth, and Lloyd and the rest were such a steady presence throughout my stay. I had a lot of questions coming in and out, and they were always patient, kind, and genuinely helpful. They didn’t just “assist,” they actually made things easier in a way that felt personal. Moyo, the driver, also stood out for me. He’s someone you can have real conversations with, not just small talk on the road. I always felt safe being driven around by him, and those rides ended up being some of the more grounded, reflective parts of the trip. The staff at the bar and the kitchen were incredible. The food was consistently so good (especially the yummy fries) honestly something I looked forward to every day. They also have this free veggie night which was amazing. There was care in the food that they prepared, and it showed. I also want to mention the cleaning team, who kept my room in such good order. A special shoutout to Mathilda, who is a beneficiary of Hope Story's programme. I am so proud of her and what she's achieved so far. She was always attentive and consistent, and it meant a lot to see that level of care in the work she does. Overall, Jollyboys wasn’t just a place to stay. It became a space where I could breathe, rest, and feel at home while working in Zambia. I will definitely come back!

“Great place to see Victoria Falls and all that Livingstone has to offer”

Wonderful place, with the kindest most helpful receptionists; Ruth and Stella, you are like family 😉😜.

Wonderful place, with the kindest most helpful receptionists; Ruth and Stella, you are like family 😉😜. Great location and atmosphere, and although the kitchen area has some rather old looking equipment, it was super organised and always clean. The room we had was so quiet and more like a hotel room than hostel, with excellent shower, comfy beds and air con that was great. We also enjoyed some fab wraps and sandwiches from the bar. The free pick up from the airport was so helpful and effecient. The only thing we hadn’t realised the taxi back, when leaving, was not free and we could have got it cheaper. But overall my cousin and I loved our time. Highly recommend Jollyboys

“A wonderful place to stay. We would highly recommend it.”

We had a fantastic stay for a few days here. The place was clean and comfortable and exceptional value for money.
