Livingstone

The Zambian side of the Falls — a short border crossing from Victoria Falls town, with its own angle on the river and its own adventure scene.

Why come here.

Livingstone sits directly across the Zambezi from Victoria Falls town, and gives you a different vantage point on the same waterfall — plus access to Livingstone Island and Devil's Pool, which sit on the Zambian side of the river.

It's an easy add-on to a Victoria Falls stay rather than a separate trip: most guests cross for a day of activities, or overnight at one of the riverside lodges before continuing on to Chobe.

Best time to visit

Dry season (June–October) for Livingstone Island and Devil's Pool access, when water levels allow it.

Getting there

A short transfer from Victoria Falls, crossing the Kazungula or Victoria Falls border post.

Signature experiences

Devil's Pool at Livingstone Island, plus the same rafting, cruise and adrenaline activities available on the Zimbabwe side.

Good to know

Visa requirements apply for the border crossing — ask us for current rates for your nationality.
