    Livingstone

    Livingstone is a historic town in southern Zambia, serving as the gateway to the magnificent Victoria Falls. The Zambezi River, forming the border with Zimbabwe, plunges over the falls, creating one of the world's most spectacular natural wonders. Beyond the falls, Livingstone offers a range of adventure activities, including white-water rafting, bungee jumping, and helicopter flights over the cataracts. Cultural experiences include visits to local markets, museums, and traditional villages. The Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, just outside town, provides opportunities for game viewing, with rhinoceros a notable resident.
