SIAVONGA
THE LIVINGSTONE ISLAND
Livingstone Island plays a major role in the history of Zambia
if not the whole world.
David
Livingstone, the missionary explorer, viewed the Mosi-Oa-Tunya
(THE SMOKE THAT THUNDERS) from Livingstone Island, on the 16th
of November 1855 with help of the local tribesmen (THE KOLOLO
UNDER CHIEF SEKELETU) using dugout canoes. He later named the
Mosi-Oa-Tunya, The Victoria Falls after Queen Victoria.
On the
16th November 2005 celebrations were held all around
Livingstone to mark 150 years since David Livingstone first
sighted the Victoria Falls and in recognition of this occasion a
commemorative plaque was designed and placed on the island for
all to see in year’s to come.
Livingstone Island, being part of the Victoria Falls that is one
of the Seven Wonders of the World and a world heritage site,
plus its geological location makes it a very unique picnic spot.
It can
most certainly be classed as one of the most awesome picnic
spots in the world and certainly worth a visit.
Livingstone Island was opened in 1992 to provide exclusive and
unique picnics on the edge of the Victoria Falls. It caters for
Tongabezi Lodge and the other hotels, lodges and other people
around the Victoria Falls area both on the Zambian and the
Zimbabwean sides.
Livingstone Island is a 5-8 minutes boat ride from the Royal
Livingstone Hotel and is located in the middle of the Zambezi
River, touching the lip of the Victoria Falls, where the water
thunders down the 103m drop. Access to this unique Island is
seasonal and depends entirely on the water level in the Zambezi
River
Due to
the unique nature of the Island only 16 guests may visit at any
one time and enjoy a choice of five daily visits, restricting
this exclusive island to only 80 visitors per day. WE HAVE TO
PROTECT AND PRESERVE THE NATURAL HABITAT OF THE AREA.
It is
highly recommended booking an island visit in advance. Bookings
should be made through.
