Livingstone Activities

Livingstone is a safari hub and an adventure capital - where adrenalin pumps high when you take on the Zambezi river.

Whether whitewater rafting or bunji jump the thrill is awesome.

When you get tired of the adventure slow the pace with a round of golf or some fishing.

How about a tour of the Falls or take in some game viewing at the Mosi oa Tunya national park.

Feeling nostalgic then head for the Railway Museum or have dinner on the Royal Livingstone Express train service.

Air Flips.

This must be THE BEST way to view the Victoria Falls.

Breath taking views await you - so have your camera ready as you fly over the Zambezi channels towards the Falls and the Batoka gorge - then circling the Falls again before returning up river to the landing stage.
