Situated on the mighty Zambezi River at the Victoria Falls, one of the seven Natural Wonders of the World, the historic town of Livingstone is a traveller's fairytale destination. As a tourism epicentre, the town has new accommodations, activities and associated service industries opening continually. Originally known as the Old Drift, Livingstone owes its existence primarily to the Victoria Falls and was established as a staging point across the Zambezi River. The town is named after Dr. David Livingstone, the first European to see, name and publicise the Falls. The Scottish explorer's journey and first sight of the Falls in 1855 opened up Central Africa to other missionaries, hunters, and traders. Livingstone was founded in 1905 at a safe distance from the then swampy banks of the Zambezi. In 1907 it became the capital of what was known as Northern-Western Rhodesia. In 1911 it became the capital of Northern Rhodesia, what is today called Zambia. In 1935 the capital was moved to Lusaka, but Livingstone retained its 'Tourist Capital' status as well as much of its original colonial character. History lovers will find Livingstone alive. Many buildings from the first decade of the century are still in use. It was one of the first white settlements in Northern Rhodesia (Zambia) and for quite a while it was the only urban centre in the territory and the gateway to the north. The town has preserved much of its colonial character, but is a typical African town with an busy charm. Rich in scenery and heritage, Livingstone today has become the tourist heart of Zambia. We welcome you to the city of heritage and culture. Situated about 10km from the city of Livingstone is one of the world's seven natural wonders and one of the most spectacular natural sites in the world, 'The Victoria Falls'. The Falls are 1.7 km wide with a volume of between 20,000 and 700,000 cubic metres per minute falling down a vertical drop of 100 metres. The spray of the Falls can be clearly seen from a distance of 30km and hence its local name, Mosi-oa-Tunya, 'The smoke that thunders'.

The Great Southern Safari

9 nights from $5,035*

One of the world's most picturesque tourist destinations and most beautiful cities in the world. Cape Town is situated amidst majestic mountains and is surrounded by pristine white beaches. Often called the 'cosmopolitan hub of Africa', it is home to a rich cultural and historical heritage, vibrant restaurants and nightlife and a multitude of activities - from extreme sports to leisurely scenic cruises and world-class shopping. One of Africa's leading attractions, the Kruger National Park/Greater Kruger Region is a premier game sanctuary that covers more than 20,000 square kilometres of land between the Crocodile River in the south and the Limpopo in the north. It can accommodate 5000 visitors at a time, offers easy access to a vast array of wildlife. It also boasts the greatest species diversity in Africa - more than 140 resident mammal species, including the Big Five (lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo and rhino). The Victoria Falls constitutes one of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world. The Local people call it 'Mosi-oa-Tunya' - the smoke that thunders and the Falls are remarkable. There is a magic about them manifested in the towering column of spray when the river is high, the thunder of the falling water, the terrifying abyss and tranquil lagoons upstream in which hippo and deadly crocodiles lurk.
