Take a trip to Livingstone on your Zambia vacation.
Livingstone is a border town with road and rail connections with Zimbabwe. A tourist centre for the world-famous Victoria Falls and gateway for Zambia safaris, Livingstone is the capital of Zambia’s Southern Province.
In 1885, Scottish missionary explorer David Livingstone became the first European to explore the Zambezi and the town that was later established was named in his honour. By 1897, a colonial settlement was set up at the Old Drift, the crossing point of the Zambezi, however, malaria threats caused the settlers to move to higher ground and their new location grew into what is now Livingstone.
It is the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Victoria Falls or Mosi-Oa-Tunya (The Smoke that Thunders) that has put Livingstone on the map. Twice as tall as Niagara Falls and several times longer, the falls are an incredible sight to behold. The immense scenery as well as adventure sports opportunities like white water rafting and bungee jumping bring many tourists to the area each year.
