Our super funky town. Now rated as one of the two best adventure destinations in the world (the other is Queenstown NZ) Livingstone is a happening mix of African customs and costume, old colonial architecture, derelict railway sheds, funky cafes, bizarre characters (mostly in the tourism business) open air markets selling every designer clothing item ever made (yep all genuine and donated by Europe and the States, Oh and also Canada).

 The town is noisy, dirty, hot, smelly, intriguing, welcoming, pretty, crazy, fast (taxis) slow (everything else). The people will welcome you with genuine hospitality, won’t try hard to sell you crap you don’t won’t, will happily chat for hours about local and world affairs.

The surrounding country side is stunning. There is a huge waterfall down the road. Railway museum, Local Museum, Croc farm with 80 year old kick ass croc catcher. There are quiet suburbs where you can stroll under Flamboyant and Jacaranda trees or noisy (very) night clubs where the locals will welcome you to dance the night away.

 Livingstone offers a real travel experience. So come visit, do a crazy activity, raft the worlds best white water, ride an elephant, swim on the edge of the falls, Jump of a sheer cliff attached to a climbing rope, or just chill for hours by the pool and get a tan (lots of people do that).
