All about Livingstone
When to Visit
The best time to visit Livingstone is during the dry season from May to October. This period offers clear skies, ideal weather, and perfect conditions for safaris and viewing Victoria Falls at lower water levels. For a dramatic view of the falls in full flood, plan your trip during the rainy season, from February to May. Note that some activities, like rafting, may be restricted during high water levels.
Getting Around
Livingstone is a compact town that’s easy to navigate. Taxis and shared minivans are readily available for local travel. Many hotels and lodges offer shuttle services to major attractions like Victoria Falls. For more flexibility, consider renting a car or hiring a private driver. Guided tours are the most convenient way to explore the falls, Zambezi River, and nearby national parks.
Traveler Tips
Carry cash in Zambian Kwacha for local markets and small vendors. Pack comfortable shoes for exploring, sunscreen for the sunny weather, and a waterproof jacket if visiting during the rainy season. Always keep mosquito repellent handy, as Livingstone is a malaria-prone area. Don’t miss a local market visit to shop for handmade crafts and taste traditional Zambian cuisine.
