Livingstone is one of the most popularly visited locations in Zambia. The town is only 10 kilometres from the Zambezi River and is the hub for tourists looking to visit the Victoria Falls.
Boasting the title of home to one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the town is perfect for a romantic getaway. Not only is there stunning natural elements, but the town is steeped in history too.
Here are some things you should get up to with your partner when you visit Livingstone:
– Visit the Victoria Falls
Being one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, it would be a huge mistake to miss the Victoria Falls. It’s not every day you get to witness things like this, and to see it with your loved one by your side makes it that much more special.
It’s likely that you’ll catch a very special rainbow show too – the side effect of tons of water flowing over the edge of the cliff.

– Take a dip in the Devil’s Pool
While the name sounds scary, the activity is a must-do. It is the perfect way to top off your visit to the Victoria Falls.
The pool is located on the very edge of the waterfall. Get your heart racing as you stare down at the unnervingly drop, and get the adrenaline rush that’ll make your romantic getaway unforgettable.

– Visit The Elephant Café
This sanctuary allows you to get a glimpse of some wildlife, ethically. The elephants have been rescued from dangerous situations such as culling and drought and are kept here where they roam freely.
After spending some time with these gentle giants, you can have a delicious meal at the café. Relax on the wooden deck and experience a meal like you never have before.

– Take a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River
Sit back, relax, and take in the views with a drink in hand. Sundowners are a staple of any getaway, but sundowners on a river cruise makes for the perfect romantic activity.
