Any visit to Southern Africa would not be complete without a stay in Livingstone to view the majestic Victoria Falls and experience the thrilling activities that go with it. The Falls are commonly described as one of The Seven Natural Wonders of the World and Zambia boasts some of the most spectacular views. To discover how the Falls were formed and what local customs and traditions surround them, it is well worth taking a guided tour.

These tours are extremely informative and end with a visit to the local art and crafts centre. Tours may be conducted from the Zambian side or Zimbabwean side or a combination of both sides.
