CHITWA LOG: There is no better way to start the morning than opening your deck door and watching four male lions try and hunt buffalo at Chitwa dam. Chitwa guests got up close and personal with four of the Birmingham males as they were trying to hunt a few old buffalo bulls that had spent the night sleeping in the open area across Chitwa dam. Luckily for the buffalo the lions were still a little bit full and slow from their last meal. After chasing the buffalo across the open area the lions decided to give it up for a bad job and came down to quench their first. All the guests were still busy with their pre-morning drive coffee, having front row seats for such a spectacle is absolutely incredible.

A bush-based career is not your run-of-the-mill vocation, as Mombo Manager Neil Steedman elaborates…

"If predators come through camp, excitement levels are mostly barely contained. Certain prides, packs and individuals will be recognised, with everyone closely monitoring the predators’ whereabouts at any given stage. Having predators in camp presents a slightly more tricky scenario; as certain resident antelope are targeted by the predators, and should the hunt be successful would mean that a familiar, often well-liked animal is gone. It can be a hard thought to take on, but it is nature at its rawest."

Very interesting read - The Explorer Club Africa

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 centu ry 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.
