"Primary Attraction is the Falls" Livingstone by glabah


Livingstone Travel Guide: 191 reviews and 506 photos

Naturally, the primary attraction to come to Livingstone is to visit Victoria Falls. However, there is a bit of a problem in November: it is the lowest water month there is. The photo above would normally show quite a spectacular expanse of falling water. What you see in November is a trickle by comparison.

Interesting and Eccentric Hotel

I stayed at the Zambezi Sun, which has zebras wandering the grounds (don't they also attract predators?) and has unlimited access to Victoria Falls during the park's open hours. This allowed me to take that wonderful sunset photograph shown at the top of the page.

The hotel grounds also features an eccentric sculpture garden with a number of odd modern abstract works.

    I don't think I have ever seen the falls with such a small amount of water going over. I really like the sound of your Hotel, would have been very nice for you.

    Good tips here, and the hotel sounds great, but 650 USD a night makes me sad. We'll camp and look at your photo of the sunset on the falls.
