Search hotels in Livingstone, Zambia

Everything in Livingstone is around Victoria falls. I would advise to see the fall from both sides. On Zambian side you kan swim in Devil poll - just one meter from the Victoria falls. From Zimbabwe you can see the whole fall. Also rafting- you will be satisfied 100%.

There is much to see and do around Livingstone so worth a visit. Pricing on activities is a little exaggerated though. In Livingstone I highly recommend Olga's for great food and the Waterfront is a great place for drinks/dinner, great view and general great atmosphere.

Beautiful weather, friendly people. Easy to get around. Nature safaris, amazing views of Victoria Falls, adventure activities - Livingstone has something for everyone and every price range.

I served as a US Military Advisor to Zambia from 2002-2005. In 36 months, I visited Victoria Falls 33 times. There is no bad time to see the Victoria Falls; they are gorgeous and breath taking each and every time! Zambia is a beautiful country and Zambians are vibrant, friendly people! Both Zambia and Victoria Falls are worth the challenges of travel, usually 29 hours or more from Washington DC or Atlanta, Georgia but well worth the time and effort! Victoria Falls is spectacular!! Definitely heads above Niagara Falls and on par with Iguasu Falls, Brazil! Victoria Falls offers World Class hiking, rafting and even bungee jumping!! Bungee jumping is safe and has been going on for decades! Victoria Falls should be at the top of anybody's bucket list! Victoria Falls has wonderful hotels and safari camps with World Class cuisine!! Numerous animal parks, the Mukuni Village, the Railroad museum, the Livingstone museum and a visit to Botswana an hour away will keep you and your kids busy. A once in a lifetime country and visit!!

I enjoyed Victoria Falls and shopping at the downtown market for locally made gifts. I felt completely comfortable as a woman by myself. I enjoyed a walk through the local wildlife sanctuary with guides and a sharp shooter. I wish I had alotted time/money to go on a safari in one of the surrounding countries - they are quite expensive however and do require multiple entries to Zambia on your passport; it is a full day trip as well. Entirely worth it from the pictures I have seen. You will not see lions in Livingstone. I did see rhinos, zebra, impala, wild boar, wilda beast, giraffe, monkeys, rhinos, crocs, and many beautiful birds.

Livingstone is a typical small African town, nothing really of interest except for the Victoria Falls. All tourist attractions are expensive to enter or participate in. Zambia in general is expensive to fly internally and eveyone tries to rip you off.

The Victoria falls visit was the highlight of our trip!! Absolutely amazing and lovely... used LIVINGSTONE ADVENTURES for all our activities and they were fantastic!!! On time and efficient.. treated us like VIP. Our driver/tour guide was Fred and our booking manager was Nunu 💕

Livingstone offers a great range of activities for the adventurous traveler. It absolutely can keep one occupied for a few days depending on how many of these activities you want to try out (helicopter view of the falls, Devil's Pool, rhino walks, game drives, rafting, bungee jumping, and more). The town itself is fun enough but could mostly be done in a day. There are some good eateries on the main strip (mostly catering to tourists but some more authentic food can be found) as well as a nice craft market further up the main road. All in all, it's a fun place to stay, and it should be on any traveler's list to see at least once.

We were able to visit the falls and go on a safari in Botswana. Livingstone is not that exciting in and of itself. The falls are amazing and so was our trip to Chobe, Botswana. There are quite a lot of activities to do on the river and at the falls, but the town doesn't have much on offer apart from its proximity to the falls.

A nice cheerful friendly place and so exciting to see the Victoria Falls.... an unforgettable experience! The Victoria Falls are the highlight of Livingstone.
