History lovers will find Livingstone alive. Many buildings from the first decade of the century are still in use. It was one of the first white settlements in Northern Rhodesia (Zambia) and for quite a while it was the only urban center in the territory and the gateway to the north. The town has preserved much of its colonial character, but is a typical African town with a busy charm. Livingstone receives guests from all over the world, who want to enjoy the world wonder, as well as the many exciting activities that both side of the Fall have to offer. There is absolutely no end to amazements on the offing for to many pens in words. Rich in scenery and heritage, Livingstone today has become the tourist heart of Zambia. We welcome you to the city of heritage and culture.

60 minutes here · Admission included
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.

Amazing tour
We are back from the Livingstone town tour and we are still thinking about it! The Livingstone Museum was top notch, so well-made and informative, we learned so much about the history and culture of the area. And Mukuti African Village was truly eye-opening; the presentation by a member of their tribe was truly amazing and really brought the culture to life. Our driver/guide Gift from Wilch Travel was super friendly and knowledgeable, he made the whole experience seamless and very enjoyable. We'd highly recommend this tour company and Gift the guide to anyone visiting Livingstone!
Response from the operator: We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review, we are so glad you enjoyed the Livingstone city tour with Gift. hope to see you again.

The oldest colonial city in Zambia
Interesting place , used to be the capital of Northen Rhodesia, (Today Zambia) it has the oldest museum in country, the railway museum, the jewish museum, some interesting art deco architecture. If you are into history do not miss it. But if you are not into history could be boring.

Livingstone Town Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Livingstone.
How much does Livingstone Town Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Livingstone usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Livingstone Town Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Livingstone is not rushed.
Is Livingstone Town Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Livingstone, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Livingstone Town Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Livingstone Town Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Livingstone Town Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Livingstone can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Livingstone and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Livingstone Town Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Livingstone within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Livingstone?
+
On Outty we rank every Livingstone experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Game Drive & Rhino Safari Exp - up to 3 hrs long - MIN 2 PEOPLE, Raft the Zambezi, Zambezi Whitewater Rafting — Full Day All 25 Rapids : Livingstone. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Livingstone?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Livingstone?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Livingstone Town Tour?
+
Included: Bottled water; National Park fees; and Hotel pickup and drop-off (selected hotels only). Not included: Segway use. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Livingstone Town Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 18 listed pickup locations in and around Livingstone. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Livingstone Town Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Livingstone Town Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Livingstone Town Tour if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Livingstone Town Tour?
+
Across 5 reviews averaging 4.8 out of 5, recurring themes include knowledge and storytelling, the guide, organization. Reviewers describe the commentary as informative rather than scripted.
