Livingstone Extension

Livingstone, with its Wild West flavour, is a great base to explore the Victoria Falls region

Victoria Falls are Zambia's most celebrated spectacle. Measuring some 1.7 kilometres in width and with a drop of around 105 metres, an immense volume of water passes over the cataract at the height of the inundation with a flow rate of about 550,000 cubic metres per minute. This massive rush of water sends a huge plume of spray into the sky, visible for miles and providing a stunning spectacle, as we walk on paths that border the ravine. On this tour we are taken on a guided tour of Victoria Falls from the Livingstone (Zambian) side. A sunset cruise on the Upper Zambezi River provides opportunities for game-viewing, followed by the chance to enjoy an incredible sunset. Apart from these activities there is much in the area to interest the visitor including whitewater rafting, horse trails, game-viewing in Zambezi National Park, flights over the falls, canoeing and evening cruises on the Zambezi. Most optional activities can be easily booked once you arrive and our local agent in Zambia will be happy to offer assistance. For those who prefer more leisurely activities, the craft market offers a wide range of local handicrafts at reasonable prices.

On this trip extension you are based at our standard property, The Waterfront. The Waterfront is beautifully situated on the banks of the Zambezi River, just a couple of kilometres upstream from spectacular Victoria Falls. There is an a la carte restaurant, pool and bar, where you can relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

These include canoeing and inflatable kayaking along the upper Zambezi (well above the falls!), whitewater rafting beneath the falls (along the lower section of the river) and morning or afternoon game drives or walks in Zambezi National Park.
