Bordering Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, Livingstone Sussi & Chuma Lodge 2 Nights Included: All meals, local beverages, laundry service, daily activities, private guide & private vehicle Livingstone and Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park The town of Livingstone has become Zambia's tourist capital. Livingstone is situated a short distance from Victoria Falls, the largest single waterfall in the world by volume in peak flood and a member of the old Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Columns of spray can be seen for many miles as tons of water plummet over the edge every minute at the height of flood season. The Falls are 1 mile (1,5 km) wide and average 330 feet (100 m) high. Mosi-oaTunya National Park abuts the town and is home to a wide diversity of animals including the country s only white rhino. Most visitors are drawn to Livingstone for Victoria Falls, but the town has attractions of its own, most notably an interesting colonial history combined with a very African ambience. Sussi & Chuma Lodge This beautiful lodge comprises 12 luxury tree-houses built into the canopy of majestic ebony trees lining the riverbank, 12 km (7.5 mi) upstream of Victoria Falls. The air-conditioned rooms all with their own private viewing deck boast superb views over the white waters of the Zambezi.
