Hotel Musi-o-Tunya Inter-Continental

Musi-o-Tunya Inter-Continental Hotel was officially opened on 19 October 1968 by Dr Kabaleka Konoso, Minister of Natural Resources and Tourism. Robert Huyot, Presdient of Inter-Continental, and Mario di Genova, Senior Vice-President of Operations, were also present. It was located just 300 yards, on a 35 acre site, adjacent to the eastern cataract of the Victoria Falls (Musi-O-Tunya or The Smoke That Thunders), and seven miles from Livingstone.

Musi-o-Tunya Inter-Continental Hotel was designed by the same team and based in Livingstone. Also built in 1968, it had 100 air-conditioned rooms, a specialty restaurant, two informal restaurants, a cocktail lounge, and a bar.

The hotel was managed by a German Rotarian couple by the name of Ernest and Maria Mueller.
