Top 10 Things to Do in Livingstone
The Livingstone Museum
On a guided tour of the Livingstone Museum, you are visiting the oldest and biggest museum in Zambia which dates back as far as the 1930’s. The museum is split into sections on archaeology, ethnography, art and history. In one of the oldest libraries found in the museum, there are journals by Dr Livingstone, his old maps along with an extensive book collection. This museum was set up as a memorial to Dr Livingstone.
Victoria Falls
Take one of the numerous sightseeing tours to Victoria Falls. One of the seven natural wonders of the world and possibly the most impressive place to visit anywhere in the world. Forming the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, see it from above on a helicopter tour or from special vantage points such as the Knife-edge Bridge, Falls Bridge, Lookout Tree and Devils Pool. All these places offer superb panoramic views.
Livingstone Reptile Park
Be fascinated when you take a guided tour of Livingstone Reptile Park. It is here you can see the most notorious reptiles living in Livingstone. Many of the reptiles found in this park have been brought here because they were posing a danger, not only to people but also to themselves. See the vast collection of angry looking crocodiles and dangerous venomous snakes in habitats that are replicas to their natural ones.
Victoria Falls Bridge
The Victoria Falls Bridge deserves its own guided tour and not be part of the sightseeing tour of Victoria Falls. This bridge which crosses the Zambezi is the only rail link between Zimbabwe and Zambia. Construction began in 1904 and it was officially opened 14 months later. It is listed in the American Society of Civil Engineers as a historic civil engineering landmark. It is so impressive to travel along.
Elephant Back Safari
A unique safari tour to take when you are in Livingstone is the Elephant Back Safari tour in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park located on the outskirts of the town of Livingstone. You get to ride tamed wild elephants and see close up the other wild animals in the national park. The elephants are each under the charge of a handler who makes sure your tour is everything you hoped it would be.
Railway Museum Livingstone
The railway museum of Livingstone is a very interesting guided tour to take. There are beautiful 19th-century locomotives to learn about, explore and climb aboard.

This is a fantastic and totally unique experience to anyone that lives in a city. In the Mukuni Research Centre, you get the opportunity to walk and interact with Cheetahs and Lions in the bush. This centre conserves and breeds the threatened Cheetah through understanding and education. It is a real privilege to be able to walk with these amazing animals on this fascinating safari tour.
Canoeing Safari Tours on Zambezi
