Featured Destination - Livingstone

Livingstone, Zambia, home to Victoria Falls, a wonder of the world and World Heritage Site, is well worth a visit next time you find yourself in Africa. South African Airways daily non-stop flights will get you there from Johannesburg in less than two hours. Once there, you will find a town as welcoming as the falls are spectacular.

At their peak in rainy season, the falls span over a mile, and their immense power radiates, inspiring all that are lucky enough to be in their presence. During the dry season, the basalt rock formations show their ever changing beauty, a stunning sight on their own.

Livingstone is home to numerous outdoor activities, and has been called the adrenaline capital of the world. The Zambezi River is lined with rich game, which can be view from a distant sunset booze cruise or up close on one of the many of the locally sponsored nature walks. If seeing game eye to eye isn’t enough to get your blood pumping, you can also buy an all day adrenaline package where you can bungee, abseil, gorge swing and zip line to your heart’s content. The Zambezi also offers some of the wildest white water rafting in the world, river boarding and canoeing. If your idea of relaxation moves a little slower, you might find your way simply hiking along the gorge or on some of the extensive horse trails, designed for novice to advance riders. You can even indulge relaxation on a fishing trip.

When it comes time to hang your hiking boots, Livingstone offers many options from camping, to five star luxuries. There are several supermarkets in town that can provide all the amenities you might require to take on a self catering lodge, many built in the style of the local tribes, complete with thatched roofs. If you are looking for a more traditional hotel stay, South African Airways recommends the three-star Zambezi Sun, or the pampering five-star Royal Livingstone, both located on the 46 hectare Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Wildlife Park. Guests are encouraged to meet with the travel professionals at the Activity Center located right on the resort to secure all tours and excursions.
