Livingstone - Zambia
Livingstone, Zambia, is named after the first European to set eyes on The Victoria Falls and its surrounding area – David Livingstone.
The city itself is approximately 10 km from the Victoria Falls Waterfall and the Victoria Falls Bridge that connects Zambia to Zimbabwe. Livingstone is a tourism hub as many travellers come to Livingstone to see Victoria Falls, experience its many activities, and visit the surrounding National Parks. The lodges / hotels are found outside of the city, dotted along the banks of the Zambezi River.
Livingstone differs from Victoria Falls in the way that when you are at your hotel, that is your destination. You can get a taxi into the city, but it is really nothing more than a typical African city.
The hotels/lodges will offer a range of activities and dining options for the traveller, including cross-border tours to the Zimbabwe side or Chobe National Park in Botswana, a mere 80km away.
