Travel Snapshots S ituated on the southern border of Zambia is the city of Livingstone. Befittingly named as the tourist capital of Zambia, it offers a cross section of attractions and holiday packages; from adrenaline filled to serene activities, from backpackers to high end travellers. The ability of Livingstone to thrive in the modern day and yet maintain an unadulterated traditional way of life around it, with its unique natural infrastructure gives it an edge that cannot be replicated nor experienced anywhere else. Put simply, your visit to Africa is incomplete without Livingstone on your itinerary. Victoria Falls Locally known as Mosi-oa-Tunya (the smoke that thunders). Hailed as one of Africa’s greatest attractions as well as one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world, the Victoria Falls is also listed as one of the seven natural wonders of the world. It is considered to be the biggest waterfalls in the world in terms of width – 1.7km and height – 108m. Its grandness and radiance cannot only be viewed from the air and the elaborate trails on the ground, but also right in the gorge. The roaring thunder of plunging water, with its rising mist can be seen and heard miles away. Photographs courtesy of Livingstone Adventure, Bundu and RS.
