Only eight kilometres from the spectacular Victoria Falls, the historic town of Livingstone was the former capital of Zambia and is the gateway to an incredible Victoria Falls safari. Livingstone is considered the tourism capital of Zambia, with a host of activities in the town and at the nearby Victoria Falls for the traveller to enjoy.

With the quaintly rustic air of a colonial outback frontier town, Livingstone’s main attraction is the Livingstone Museum, housing many relics and items owned by explorer David Livingstone. Cultural enthusiasts will enjoy a visit to Chief Mukuni’s village, where guests are introduced to the lifestyle and customs of the local Leya tribe, and entertained with dancing and art and craft exhibitions.

Game viewing along the upper Zambezi River by canoe or cruise boat is rewarding and relaxing. Adrenaline junkies may want to experience the spectacular view while bouncing upside down from the end of a bungi cord off the Victoria Falls Bridge. Intrepid travellers will also be attracted by the white-water rafting excursions on the swirling waters of the Zambezi Gorge. Helicopter or microlight trips over the Falls, game-drives in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, horse trails along the Zambezi River and a visit to Maramba Market are also available.
