Livingstone - Zambia

Set along the banks of the Zambezi River in southern Zambia, Livingstone is a destination where adventure, culture and natural beauty come together. Often recognised as the gateway to Victoria Falls, the city offers far more than simply access to one of the world’s most famous waterfalls. With its relaxed atmosphere, rich history and proximity to remarkable landscapes, Livingstone has become one of Southern Africa’s most memorable travel destinations. Named after the Scottish explorer David Livingstone, the town carries a unique blend of colonial heritage and vibrant local culture. Tree-lined streets, local markets and riverside settings create a welcoming environment where visitors can experience both the slower rhythm of Zambia and the excitement of world-class attractions nearby.
