Livingstone, Zambia Highlights 
As one of the main starting points for our expeditions through Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Victoria Falls, the town of Livingstone is a great destination in itself. In addition to a buzzing atmosphere and several museums with archaeological and historical exhibits, a stay in Livingstone is day one for tours of:

Victoria Falls: Livingstone is the hub for visitors to the most famous waterfall in Africa. Right at the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, the town of Livingstone provides excellent access to the waterfalls that have earned the nickname "the smoke that thunders." 

Zimbabwe: Right across the border from Livingstone is Zimbabwe, home to Hwange National Park and Matobo Hills. 

River Cruises on the Zambezi Queen: If you're looking for a different kind of experience, consider taking your vacation right onto the water on the luxurious Zambezi Queen, which navigates the most important river in the region - the Zambezi.
