What to expect
This popular museum contains Zambia’s oldest collection of fascinating samples from the area’s prehistory, as well as photographs, musical instruments and memorabilia belonging to Davide Livingstone, the first white man to view Victoria Falls.
Mukuni Village
One of our most popular Livingstone tours is a trip to a traditional village. The local Livingstone Chief, Chief Makuni, encourages visitors to his village which is home to some 7,000 Leya people, to gain valuable knowledge of how an African village is run and the day-to- day routines of the people who live there. A headman will escort you around the village to show how traditional huts are made and decorated, to explain village politics and to answer any questions that a client may have.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
