Livingstone
The historical colonial city of Livingstone is also known as Maramba and is the present capital of the Southern Province of Zambia. It’s also a tourism centre for the popular Victoria Falls which is 10 kilometres north of the Zambezi River and a border town with a much needed road and rail connections toZimbabwe which is on the other side of the Falls.
Victoria Falls is one of most popular destinations on the African continent and this makes the area of Livingstone an excellent place to visit. The area is named after the British explorer, David Livingstone, who was the first white man to explore the area.
When touring Livingstone there are quite a few places you should visit; the most obvious and magnificent of the bunch is of course the magnificent Victoria Falls. This amazing natural wonder is served and protected by the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park which is situated in the city’s south-western edge. Another beautiful sight to admire is that of the Batoka Gorges which can be found below the Falls.
Partaking in a couple Wildlife Safaris is an absolute must while visiting this part of Africa; there are plenty of game drive packages available at the Mosi-oa-Tunya Park which promises a variety of unforgettable wildlife experiences. Extend your adventure tours and visit the Zambezi River and enjoy river cruises, sports fishing and kayaking.
The Victoria Falls Field Museum features geology and archaeology around the falls; here young and old can learn about the falls and its surrounds. This area is rich in history and offers many amazing fauna and flora to see and more.
