Livingstone Town Tour

Service Description

Livingstone, Zambia holds a special place of importance in the history of Southern Africa during the first days of European Settlement and the beginning of Colonial Rule in the region. Livingstone served as the Capital of the British Protectorate of Northern Rhodesia between 1911 – 1935 and as such enjoyed far superior facilities to the rest of the countries, and the magnificent Edwardian colonial buildings lining the main road bear testimony to this. The original town was sited on the river at a place known as Old Drift but was moved in 1905 due to the high incidence of Malaria, and the the new town was built on Constitutional Hill. There was the advantage in this of formal town planning with wide streets, lined with trees, and a lot of the original Architecture can still be seen today.
