Two fine water bodies, the graceful Zambezi River and the gorgeous Victoria Falls are beacons of posterity for Zambia. A nation which values tourism as a fluid medium for rural and economic development. Thus, the best touristic experience must be afforded to visitors to Zambia.
Both Zambezi River and Victoria Falls collectively form a border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. As a guest of Zambia at your Livingstone Hotel, you can enjoy different views and experiences of the gorgeous Victoria Falls which is the largest waterfall in the world. This cascading beauty offers five different sections of falls out of which one section is called the Eastern Cataract; in fact, it is the second deepest fall of the series and can be seen from Zambia at 101 metres deep. Not only that, visitors can get in closer to the cascades and walk along the path called Knife Edge Bridge, you'll even feel the spray of the water on your body.
It will be an experience of a lifetime for many guests. Waking up to the sound of one of the world’s natural wonders. The Royal Livingstone Hotel by Anantara takes the guest experience to a whole new level. Not only do these special guests wake up to the thunder of the cascading waters of majestic Victoria Falls, but they are also afforded views of the gracefully flowing Zambezi River, being in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park which is on the Zambian side of Zambezi River along with many views of African animals.
Being in the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park gets the valued guests are offered not only free but unlimited access to the massive Victoria Falls. Isn’t that a great advantage? This means such guests must also have their passports on their person in case they happen to cross the borders between the two nations, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Just as much as Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park provides great views of Victoria Falls from the Zambia side, take one of the footpaths of Victoria Falls National Park on the Zimbabwe side and be greeted with a view of the other 04 wonderous sections of the waterfall. These are called the Main Falls, Devil’s Cataract, Rainbow Falls and Horseshoe Falls. Once all these are witnessed, the experience becomes a more complete and fulfilling one; it also makes for a profound realization of how the views from each side can be so different yet spectacular in their own way.
Connecting the two towns in two different lands, Livingstone in Zambia, and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, this iconic bridge made out of steel is 198 metres long and remains a profound symbol of the Victoria Falls landscape demonstrating the important connection between the two countries having borders which are natural ones. The construction of this bridge took a little over a year and was completed in 1905. The bridge tour is a great experience for visitors and covers fascinating aspects of the famous bridge.
