Boat transfer to Livingstone Island — the island on the very lip of Victoria Falls from which David Livingstone first saw Mosi-oa-Tunya in 1855. Choose one of three daily sittings: the Morning Breezer (light breakfast), Lunch (two-course meal) or High Tea (afternoon tea with savouries and cakes), each with a guided walk to the edge of the falls.
Sittings depart daily by speedboat from the Royal Livingstone jetty on the Zambian bank. Every sitting includes the boat transfer, a guided walk across the island to the viewpoints where Livingstone first stood, and your meal served under canvas on the island — Morning Breezer for a light breakfast, Lunch for a fuller two-course spread, High Tea for the classic afternoon experience. During low water (roughly mid-August to mid-January) guides escort swimmers into Angel's Pool or Devil's Pool at the precipice; if the swim is your main goal, book the Devil's Pool experience directly.
What’s included
Speedboat transfer, guided island walk, meal by sitting (Morning Breezer / Lunch / High Tea), park guide; rock-pool swim in low water season
