This week's events

August in Livingstone is peak dry-season travel: Devil's Pool and Livingstone Island run most days, sunset cruises fill up on weekends, and the Falls spray is at its seasonal low — clearer views from the Zambian lip.

Traveller tip

Days are warming into the low-30s °C (high-80s °F) with clear skies straight through — light layers for the cool early mornings, sun protection by midday. No rain gear needed this week.

On the ground

August is prime Devil's Pool season — dry, stable weather and a Zambezi low enough for the pool to be running safely most days this month. If it's on your list, this is close to the best stretch of the year to book it.
