Livingstone — 5 nights

Livingstone Museum and Wayiwayi Art Studio and Gallery are good opportunities to explore the local culture. There's still lots to do: look for all kinds of wild species at The Explorer Club, explore and take pictures at Gorge Swing, admire the sheer force of Victoria Falls, and examine the collection at Railway Museum.

To find where to stay, more things to do, maps, and tourist information, use the Livingstone vacation website.

Air Conditioned State
Landlocked Zambia remains best known, a little counter intuitively perhaps, for its bodies of water. Three large rivers run through the country, with most of the big urban areas and smaller settlements sticking close to waterways and the valleys they've cut over millennia. Holidays in Zambia are adventurous affairs, with real planning required to get the most out of the country--foreign visitors find the infrastructure lacking and familiar comforts practically nonexistent. Traditional villages remain the most culturally rewarding places to visit in Zambia, while superlative natural features include animal-rich national parks and picturesque waterfalls.
