Local tip
LVI is 6km south of Livingstone town — Africa's ultimate day-trip layover destination. Victoria Falls is the reason you're here. Zambia side (Livingstone) is quieter + Devil's Pool + microlite flights + rafting. Zimbabwe side (Vic Falls town) has larger falls view but crosses border. For 6h layovers: Falls only. For 12h+: Falls + game drive at Mosi-oa-Tunya. KAZA UniVisa lets you do both Zambian + Zimbabwean side for USD 55. Dry season (Aug-Nov) best water flow.
