Get closer to nature while visiting one of the seven natural wonders
Passing Livingstone is a must. Not only can you see one of the seven natural wonders of the world, but you can also experience the life in a small rather modern town in Zambia. Livingstone is probably at the core of tourism in Zambia, which gives you the opportunity to interact with people coming from all over the world, with all sorts of backgrounds. There are also many volunteering projects happening in and around Livingstone, so in case you end up staying longer, get involved. And if you can’t get enough of Victoria Waterfalls, cross the bridge to Zimbabwe for another perspective.
