Originally known as Old Drift, Livingstone town was established as a key staging point across the Zambezi River and owes its existence to the Victoria Falls. Named after David Livingstone, the first European to see, name, and publicize the Falls in November 1855, Livingstone offers a unique blend of adrenaline-pumping activities and a deep connection to Africa’s cultural heritage.
At the heart of Livingstone is the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, locally known as Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning “the Smoke that Thunders.” The Falls are shared with the neighboring town of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.
A tour of Victoria Falls on the Zambian side offers a captivating exploration of one of Africa’s most stunning natural wonders. Guided by knowledgeable experts, the journey begins with a scenic walk along pathways through the rainforest of Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. As you approach the falls, you’ll experience the thunderous roar and mist that fills the air. The powerful sprays of Victoria Falls can be seen from up to 30 kilometers away, giving rise to its local name, Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning “The Smoke That Thunders.”
