Zebras graze on the grass between the guest rooms. A family of warthogs trots past with the casual authority of residents who have been here rather longer than anyone.<\/p>\n<p>The spa offers treatments inspired by traditional Zambian healing traditions &mdash; clay wraps using mineral-rich mud from the Zambezi, hot stone therapies using volcanic rocks from the Muchinga Mountains.<\/p>\n<p>To stay at the Royal Livingstone is to understand, viscerally, what the phrase &ldquo;wonder of the world&rdquo; means.
