  Helicopter - Flight of Angels

  An Amazing Perspective

  To put the Victoria Falls into true perspective, they must really be seen from the air. The sheer size and grandeur of the spectacle becomes clear when viewed from above. The huge Zambezi River flowing slowly south with hippos and crocodiles clearly visible in the shallow waters, elephant quietly browsing on bright green islands as the water spreads across the full width of a great rent in the earth. Experience the majestic sight of it crashing over the lip in a burst of spray and then squeezing into a narrow, foaming, blast of water rushing down the zigzag funnel of the gorges. close

  Railway Museum and Tour of Livingstone Town

  The Fascinating History of African Exploration

  Livingstone was an important town in southern Africa during the first days of European settlement and the beginnings of Colonial rule.

For many years Livingstone was the Railway Capital of a vast region and much of its wealth came from the railways. The museum is dedicated to that past and covers its history from the days when the bridge crossed the gorge to the building of the great TamZam railway in the late 1970s. For train buffs there are a unique collection of ancient locomotives and coaches. close

  Livingstone Island Morning Breezer

  An Up-Close Visit with Victoria Falls

  You will be picked up at the jetty adjacent to the Royal Livingstone River Deck by an aluminum 12 seat launch with twin water jet propelled engines for a five minute ride to the island. Dr. David Livingstone was paddled in a dug -out canoe through swift rapids towards the roar and rising cloud of mist suspended above a cliff over which the whole of the Zambezi River plunged. The Makololo paddlers skillfully landed him on Goat Island (now Livingstone Island) right on the lip of the chasm. A few steps through the small rainforest and, on the 16th November 1855, he gazed upon one of the most spectacular sights in the world – “Mosi-Oa-Tunya” (The Smoke that Thunders) which he named after his Queen as The Victoria Falls. Today visitors are picked up in a twin engine boat with powerful motors and a skilled skipper re-traces Livingstone’s approach to the island to witness the very best view of the Falls. After the tour you will be returned to the Royal Livingstone jetty. close

  Ebenezer Orphanage Visit

  Safaris Provide Local Benefits

  Ebenezer Childcare Trust currently provides services to over 200 orphan and vulnerable children in Livingstone. Many of the children are victims of HIV/AIDS and are living with older grandmothers or very poor relatives, who are living below the poverty level and cannot find means to send them to school. Ebenezer Trust School has opened its doors to over 200 children in the year 2006 and there are scores of others knocking on the doors daily to register more children. The school gives everything free to the children - books, pens, pencils, text books, reading materials and even clothes. They also get a meal at the school provided by the World Food Program through Care International. This has changed the health conditions of the children, and because the meal is of a high level of nutritious value even their skins have changed from the way they looked earlier. close
