Livingstone
Visit the famous Victoria Falls
Boat trip on the Zambezi River
Helicopter flights over the falls
Livingstone is situated close to the Victoria Falls on the Zambian side. The town is named after David Livingstone, who is purported to have discovered the waterfalls.
The Zambezi River originates in the northwest of Zambia and flows 2700 km to the Pacific Ocean. It also flows past Livingstone before tumbling 100 m into the Batoka Gorge, which marks the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The falls are known as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’ or ‘The Smoke that Thunders’ because the mist can rise several hundred metres above the gorge during the wet season, making it visible for miles around and therefore a well-known landmark.
