Welcome to the Adventure Capital of Africa!
THE ICONIC VICTORIA FALLS PRESENTS A SPECTACULAR SIGHT OF AWE-INSPIRING BEAUTY AND GRANDEUR ON THE ZAMBEZI RIVER, EVOKING ALL THE ROMANCE AND AWE OF THE EXPLORERS’ ERA. THIS HAS BEEN AFRICA’S PREMIER DESTINATION FOR WORLD TRAVELLERS FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY AND IS NOW THE TOP DESTINATION CHOICE FOR THE ULTIMATE ADVENTURE HOLIDAY.
With accommodation alongside the Zambezi River complete with a host of bucket-list adventures and experiences all within a close parameter, the historical town of Livingstone has fast become Africa’s top destination for adventure travel.
The exhilarating ‘Flight of the Angels’ by microlight is one of the many exceptional experiences one can expect to find that is totally unique to Livingstone. Those with a flair for the vintage may board and dine upon The Royal Livingstone Express – an exquisitely restored steam train offering a fine-ding experience with a memorable viewing stop on the glamorous Victoria Falls Bridge built in 1905.
Another venue that has pride of place in Zambia is Livingstone Museum which devotes an impressive gallery to the adventures and memorabilia of David Livingstone. The display includes original letters sandwiched between glass panels that visitors can decipher, his family tree, olive-green caped coat, black cap, carved umbrella, weaponry and more.
Time your visit to catch a Lunar Rainbow or ‘Moonbow’ – when the moon is full, the sky is clear and Victoria Falls are at their peak flow, huge rainbows appear through the mist at night. The light of the moon is refracted through the spray that rises up from the base of the Victoria Falls. This unique event is visible the day before, the day of and the day after the full moon.
The Elephant Café encompasses three wonderful experiences and is guaranteed to be a signature highlight of your Livingstone adventure! The experience begins with a jetboat adventure through Zambezi islands to an enchanting riverside location where you will be met on arrival by members of a magnificent herd of rescue elephant for a once-in-a-lifetime meeting. Experience an unforgettable close and educative encounter with these gentle giants before being welcomed to restaurant for a unique dining experience with wild edibles on the Menu.
