COVID-19: ACTIVITIES & SERVICES
This awe-inspiring island is perched on the edge of a cavernous gorge, eye to eye with the roaring cloud of mist- “Mosi-Au-Tunya” (The Smoke That Thunders). Its neighbour is the raging wave of the Zambezi that plunges down the black basalt rock. It is guarded by tall teak trees that hum with birdlife. It is visited by pods of grazing hippo, and herds of elegant elephant. It has seen the sky when it is brewing with angry storm clouds, and when it is such a brilliant blue that the colour seems to seep into the river below.
Every morning the island greets the sun as it rises over the rainforest, and bids it farewell when it sinks below the horizon, leaving a golden glow in its wake. The island watches water become one of the worlds wonders as the Zambezi tips its contents between the earths lips. Livingstone realised that a sight so spectacular should be honoured with the name of a Queen. When you sit on Livingstone Island surrounded by pristine natural beauty, you will meet the Queen of Africa- the Victoria Falls.
