Day: 8 Livingstone*

Transfer back through the park and cross the border into Livingstone in Zambia, a journey of approximately 2.5 hours. Stay 4 nights at Lodge, right on the banks of the Zambezi river (room type will depend upon availability and size of the family). Waterberry is within easy reach of Livingstone and Victoria Falls, but well away from helicopters and microlights and the general buzz of a busy town. Spend at least one day around the falls and the town, then enjoy excursions from the lodge such as river cruises, island picnics, fishing and birdwatching trips. A highlight for many is a visit to a local village where many of the staff live and where Waterberry has built and manages the local pre and primary schools.
