Museums
Livingstone Museum - this
is in the middle of town and is well worth a visit. As well as
an anthropological section, there are exhibits on witchcraft and
natural history. The comprehensive collection of David Livingstone’s
memorabilia is a special feature of this museum.
Railway Museum –
A must for railway buffs as it depicts the history of Zambian
railways and the building of the Victoria Falls bridge.
Field Museum – This is at the Falls near the curio sellers
and it stands on an archaeological site which provides evidence
that people were living here 2.5 million years ago. |

Walking
It is possible to walk to both Livingstone and the Falls along
the Mosi-o-Tunya Road, but is not advisable. Taxis are readily
available. Walking around the town is perfectly safe but take
the usual precautions with valuables. |
