📍 Destination Overview
Livingstone, in southern Zambia beside Victoria Falls, is the gateway to viewing one of the world's largest waterfalls from the Zambian side. The Knife-Edge Bridge brings you close to its spraying roar, while the famed Devil's Pool lets you bathe with guides at the very edge of the fall. Adventure capital of southern Africa, it offers bungee, rafting and Zambezi cruises.
