About Livingstone & Victoria Falls

The Smoke that Thunders on the Zambezi

Situated in southern Zambia along the border with Zimbabwe, Livingstone serves as the historic gateway to Victoria Falls (known ancestrally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, 'The Smoke that Thunders'). Inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the falls plunge 108 metres across a 1.7-kilometre-wide basalt curtain.

Knife-Edge Bridge and Devil's Pool

The Zambian side offers the dramatic Knife-Edge Bridge foot trail, where walkers are drenched in rainforest mist. During low water (August to December), guided excursions visit Devil's Pool, a natural rock pool on the lip of the falls on Livingstone Island.
