This week's events

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

Traveller tip

Expect mixed skies: highs around 36°C (97°F), overnight 25°C (76°F). Carry a light rain layer and still bring sun protection — Livingstone showers often pass quickly.

On the ground

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