The Royal Livingstone Hotel recalls a bygone era of
elegance and splendor. The hotel features swirling
fans, tall shutters, broad balconies and terraces
and lavish guestrooms and suites, all of which
bring the past alive. Spend your days cruising the
Zambezi in search of the perfect sunset, touring
the majestic Victoria Falls via helicopter, heading
out on an elephant safari, or riding the Batoka
Gorge rapids in a jet boat. The sundeck is perfect
for evening cocktails, and a massage in one of the
tented gazebos overlooking the river is sublime. The
Travelers’ Bar and Lounge is the ideal place to enjoy
a Victorian high tea or aperitifs.

X ray showing the skull and spine of a person with achondroplasia Achondroplasia Definition Achondroplasia, or short-limb dwarfism, is the most common form of abnormally short stature in adults. It is caused by a mutation in a single gene on chromosome 4 that regulates the conversion of cartilage to bone. This gene is the only gene that is known to be associated with achondroplasia. Description Achondroplasia is basically a disorder of bone development. The skeleton of a human fetus is composed primarily of cartilage, a dense and somewhat elastic form of connective tissue that gradually turns to bone during normal development. In a person with achondroplasia, a gene that is involved in the process of bone formation produces too much of a protein that limits bone growth. As a result, the person with achondroplasia has unusually short bones in the arms and legs and other skeletal abnormalities. They also usually have difficulties with posture, joint disorders, and breathing problems
