Livingstone, Zambia

Vic falls Dreams

What To Expect

Livingstone is a town in southwestern Zambia, a few kilometers from the Zambezi River and the border with Zimbabwe.

It’s a hub for visitors to the Victoria Falls. The adjoining Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park surrounds the Zambian side of the falls.

The Livingstone Museum traces local history and archaeology, and the life of the Scottish explorer, David Livingstone, after whom the town was named.

The proximity to the Zambezi River and the spectacular Victoria Falls has led Livingstone to become a base for travelers from all over the world wanting to explore this Wonder of the World. Being set away from the Falls makes it quieter and less ‘touristy’ than Victoria Falls Town in Zimbabwe.
