Livingstone (Mosi -oa-Tunya National Park)

A UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site, home the majestic Victoria Falls

Mosi-oa-Tunya – meaning “The Smoke That Thunders” – may be one of Zambia’s smallest national parks, but it holds immense power and beauty. Set along the banks of the mighty Zambezi River, the Park offers an impressive combination of riverine forest, wetlands, and open plains, supporting an impressive diversity of wildlife. This UNESCO-listed gem proudly guards the colossal Victoria Falls: one of the largest and most thunderous waterfalls on the planet.

Of course, no visit to Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park is complete without witnessing the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls – or taking to the skies on a helicopter flight through the gorge for a truly unforgettable perspective. When it’s time to slow down, a sunset cruise offers a peaceful way to enjoy the river and spot wildlife along the banks. Game drives also provide incredible opportunities to connect with nature in this remarkable landscape. Elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, and flourishing birdlife – including the African Sacred Ibis and the rare African skimmer – all call this area home.

Just minutes from Mosi-Oa-Tunya, the historic town of Livingstone adds a rich cultural layer to your safari. Explore local markets, visit the museum, and discover traditional Zambian crafts.

Though compact, Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park still packs in plenty – think dramatic views, diverse wildlife, and easy access to the iconic Victoria Falls.
