The Adventure Capital of Africa

Welcome to Livingstone!

Visitors who come to see the Victoria Falls can base themselves on “the Zambian-side” in Livingstone, a town - and once the Zambian Capital City - named after the Scottish Explorer, Dr. David Livingstone. Livingstone’s culture and history is intriguing – as is evidenced by the arts and craft producers, museums, colonial architecture, traditional village life, local food and the general African lifestyle.

History lovers will find Livingstone alive! Many buildings from the first decade of the century are still in use. The town has preserved much of its colonial character, but is a typical African town with an busy charm. Rich in scenery and heritage, Livingstone today has become the tourist heart of Zambia. We welcome you to the city of heritage and culture!

Livingstone is home to Sarah, owner of Zamology Travel.

“Zamology Travel was highly recommended for helping me plan a trip to Livingstone with the current best offerings there. I was continually impressed with Sarah’s quick, thorough communication and knowledge. From lodging to activities to restaurants to transportation, she made sure our entire experience worked with our budget, time frame, and desires. It was fantastic to have a liaison working with us from start to finish who also genuinely cares about seeing Livingstone succeed. Sarah does all the work, so all we had to do was enjoy our time!

Where to Stay

A stay alongside the Zambezi River is the ultimate treat. Options range from being within walking distance of Victoria Falls to the absolute seclusion of the Upper River, with fish eagles and hippos for company. Some lodges are best suited for family-stays than others, and some are ideal for those seeking lively nightlife and activities in close range.
