KNOWING LIVINGSTONE TOWN

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.

A trickle?

Alarmist fake news seems to be targeting sweet old Victoria this month as top news agencies, BBC, Sky and Reuters have claimed that: “Victoria Falls dries to a trickle after worst drought in a century. One of southern Africa’s biggest tourist attractions has seen an unprecedented decline this dry season, fuelling climate change fears.”

Using unreliable sources is one of the most damaging aspects of journalism. Here are photos we took on the ground (and from a helicopter) three days ago.

According to the river authority statistics, the water level at Victoria Falls is tracking to actually be higher than 1985, 1987, 1989, 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1999, 2005 and 2018. Not quite 100 years ago.

Come and play in our stream for yourself! This lady is not going anywhere.
