A natural phenomenon and one of the seven natural wonders of the world, the Victoria Falls is an immense 1.5 km wide curtain of water cascading 100m into the gorge. Around 550 million liters of water fall over the lip every minute. Surrounding the falls is a luscious rainforest, sustained year round by spray created by the thundering falls. There are plant species here which are rarely seen elsewhere in Zambia or Zimbabwe. During peak flow, the Zambian side of the Falls is a spectacular sight and walkways lead to vantage points which require crossing the Knife Edge Bridge.

The town of Livingstone was moved from its original site at the Old Drift in 1905, due to malarial outbreaks and moved to its healthier location on Constitution hill.

The tour is based on the client’s requests and comprises a visit to the Livingstone Museum, which displays a comprehensive collection of David Livingstone memorabilia; next you will take a memorable trip to Maramba Market, a bustling colorful market where you will find everything from fresh fruit and vegetables, to chitenge (local fabric).
