Livingstone

Discover Zambia's tourism capital through adventure, history, local culture, wildlife and the mighty Zambezi.

Overview

About Livingstone

Livingstone is Zambia's tourism capital: a working town with a long history, a walkable centre, craft markets, museums and a steady flow of travellers heading to the falls. It is also the gateway to Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park and the upper Zambezi.

Spending time in Livingstone itself is what turns a stop at a waterfall into a proper visit to Zambia. Our guides know which corners of town are worth your afternoon.

Livingstone lies in Zambia's Southern Province on the northern bank of the Zambezi, close to Victoria Falls and served by Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport.
