Livingstone

Livingstone is a unique town with a rich history. It offers the visitor the chance to enjoy all the adventure activities for which the Victoria Falls area is renowned as well as the magic and romance of Africa.

Named after the famous Victoria explorer David Livingstone, the bustling town of Livingstone is situated 10 kilometres from the Victoria Falls. The completion of the Victoria Falls Bridge gave birth to the town of Livingstone in 1905, which prospered as the gateway to trade between the north and south sides of the Zambezi. A number of colonial buildings were erected, which still stand today, creating an atmospheric welcome to travellersvisiting Livingstone before heading off to explore Zambia's great game parks.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World visitors cannot but be amazed and impressed by the sheer size, power and spectacle of the Victoria Falls. Be sure to experience the Falls on foot or by air, catch up on the local history at the Livingstone Museum, visit a traditional village, get active white water rafting, kayaking, abseiling, bungee jumping, golfing or relax and enjoy unforgettable African sunsets on a river cruise. For visitors seeking peace and tranquillity there are a number of beautiful lodges dotted along the banks of the Zambezi upstream from Livingstone town.
