Ms. Emmanuelle Moneger has been appointed General Manager of The Royal Livingstone Hotel, one of three properties within Sun International’s exclusive SUNLUX Collection. Emmanuelle was previously Regional Manager at &Beyond where she developed luxury travel experiences across Africa and Central India. Meanwhile, the government of the Republics of Zambia and Zimbabwe jointly announced the launch of the KAZA UNIVISA, the new common tourist visa for the SADC region, which will be piloted by Zambia and Zimbabwe for the next 6 months before being rolled out to Angola, Botswana and Namibia.

“I am looking forward to working with the wonderful team at The Royal Livingstone and across the community to create new unforgettable experiences, paying special attention to every detail for our guests,” said Moneger.

Regarding the launch of the new visa, Emmanuelle says: “The KAZA UNIVISA is indeed an additional benefit for our clients who want to explore this amazing area as it will facilitate border crossing. A great incentive to experience both destinations allowing visitors to save time and money.“

She joins the Sun International group to take up the role of General Manager for The Royal Livingstone, effective January 2015. Previously, Ms. Moneger was the Regional Manager for &Beyond based in Botswana, a role she held for six years. She also worked for &Beyond (formerly called CC Africa) as Operations Director of Tajsafaris for two years and General Manager of Ngorongoro Crater Lodge for three years.
