Victoria Falls, Livingstone, Zambia

The noise sounds like thunder and the air looks as if filled with smoke. With a lip spanning one km, more than five million litres of water per second plunge over this edge, at the height of the floods, down into the chasm 100 meters below. The best views of the magnificent Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world, are seen from the Zambian side. And it just viewing the Falls is not enough, the area boasts a myriad of adventure activities through which the visitor can fully appreciate the real Africa at its finest.

Livingstone, the Adventure Capital of Africa, offers a view range of activities for wildlife and adventure enthusiasts, as well as access to the best views of Victoria Falls. However, the old architecture and charm of Livingstone, the former capital of Zambia, should not be overlooked in the excitement of entering the gateway to the falls.


Approximately 10 km from the Falls, this historic town has much to offer. The Livingstone Museum is the country's biggest and oldest museum, dating back to the 1930s, harboring Zambian relics and a commendable collection of artifacts relating to the explorer, Dr. David Livingstone. There is also the Railway Museum on Chishimba Falls Road, which preserves fine examples of Zambia's railway heritage, including old steam locomotives and vintage coaches. Finally, there is the Victoria Falls Field Museum, located on an archeological site, where displays prove that our human ancestors were living in this region some 2.5 million years ago.
