Some of our favorite moments come straight from recent days out with guests here in Livingstone. From tracking rhino on foot to slow sunset cruises on the Zambezi, here’s a look back at a few of the experiences we’ve been out enjoying lately — and how you can build them into your own Livingstone itinerary. Pair any of these with a visit to Victoria Falls itself, and you’ve got the makings of a complete Livingstone stay.

Rhino Tracking in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park

There’s nothing quite like tracking white rhino on foot. Guided by experienced guides, you’ll learn to read fresh tracks and dung in the sand, following signs most visitors would walk straight past, before coming face to face with one of Africa’s most endangered species in the open bush. It’s a slower, quieter kind of wildlife encounter than a game drive — built on patience and genuine bushcraft, not just being in the right place at the right time.

This is exactly the experience at the heart of our Rhino Game Drive Safari — combining a game drive with guided walking rhino tracking

Sunset Boat Cruise on the Zambezi River

As the sun drops over the Zambezi, the river takes on a completely different character. A boat cruise here is as much about the water and light as it is about wildlife — hippos surfacing nearby, elephants sometimes drinking at the banks, and birdlife along the tree-lined shore, all from the comfort of a slow-moving boat with a drink in hand.

Our Sunset Boat Cruise covers exactly this experience, with harbour pickup and drop-off included.

Birdwatching Along the River

With well over 400 recorded bird species in the wider Livingstone area, this is genuinely rewarding territory for birdwatchers, whether you’re a dedicated lister or simply curious. Fish eagles, herons, and a wide range of riverine species are commonly spotted along the Zambezi’s banks and trees, especially in the early morning or during a slower-paced boat cruise.

Livingstone rewards travelers who go beyond the Falls. Whether it’s the quiet focus of rhino tracking, the golden light of a sunset cruise, the patience of birdwatching, or the simplicity of a walking safari, each of these experiences offers a different way to connect with this part of Zambia — and each pairs naturally with a visit to Victoria Falls itself.
