Zambia’s Tourist Captial

Livingstone is a gateway to one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the town of Livingstone is becoming ever more popular as the preferred destination to pass through when visiting the highest waterfall on the face of the earth, the Victorian Falls. Although a distance from the drenching mist of the mighty waterfall, the quaint town is soaked and overflowing with historical significance and cultural appeal.

Named after Dr. David Livingstone the charming colonial town’s Edwardian buildings echo the Englishman’s immortal words written about “a sight so wonderful that angels mush have gazed down on it in flight.” It is from this town where you too can gaze down at the majestic intensity of the Victoria Falls by taking part in the famous Flight of Angels; a voyage across the heights of the falls by microlight, light aircraft or helicopter.

Livingstone is a town revelling in the charisma of a colonial era and the slow pace of a time gone by. Largely seen as a tribute to Dr. David Livingstone, the town is littered with a museum, a few monuments and a church dedicated to the memory of the great English explorer and missionary.

Best season to visit Livingstone

Advice from Safari Russ:

“Here you can explore thrilling activities like white-water rafting, microlight flights over the falls, sundowner cruises and other wildlife encounters like walking with lions or elephant back trails. Livingstone is the preferred side to stay when visiting the falls.”
