Livingstone, 5 km north of the Victoria Falls, is the tourist capital of Zambia. The Maramba Cultural Village was established to preserve the crafts of the country. The Livingstone Museum has four galleries open to the public. The Field Museum displays forms of life around the Falls from more than 50 000 years ago. The Steam Railway Museum exhibits steam locomotives dating back to 1892. The Victoria Falls, situated a few kilometres from Livingstone, are considered to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Here the Zambezi River falls headlong over a 1 000 m wide expanse into a chasm 100 m below. The Knife Edge footbridge, spanning a narrow ridge of rock between the mainland and an island, provides an excellent viewpoint.

The Livingstone area offers various adventure activities. Vic Falls Bungi pioneered bungi jumping from the Victoria Galls Railway Bridge in 1993 and has successfully jumped over 100 000 people with an unrivalled safety record. The Zambezi River below the Victoria Falls is widely considered to be the very best rafting river in the world. A deep channeled, high volume river, the Zambezi has class 3 - 5 rapids interspersed with tranquil pools. This enables you to marvel the magnificent beauty of the Batoka Gorge between some of the most exciting and challenging rapids rafted anywhere on the planet. Discover the spectacular landscape surrounding Livingstone and the Batoka Gorge on all-terrain quad bikes. The ultimate adventure vehicles allow both the novice and experienced rider to explore the area at their own leisurely pace. See the raw, powerful beauty of the Victoria Falls from the best possible angle – above. Helicopter flights circuit the Falls and offer superb views over the gorges below and the Zambezi above. The longer flight skims over the Zambezi rapids, ascends over the Falls and finishes with game viewing over the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park.
