How's Zambia's Livingstone?
Is Livingstone in Zambia a good place to travel? I know about the
sights, but I'm curious about safety, crime and political stability as with the coming elections and the unstable situation in Zimbabwe right across the border. I might go there with a group of students in October. Geir |

How's Zambia's Livingstone?
Hi Geir
I would be very surprised if Zambia allowed the Zimbabwe situation to creep across the border. We are continuing to sell Livingstone throughout the year. Judging by hotel occupancies, so is everyone else. Geir wrote: Is Livingstone in Zambia a good place to travel?

How's Zambia's Livingstone?
Livingstone is fantastic. The situation in Zimbabwe will have no
impact on tourists to Zambia apart from probably creating more tourist opportunities in Zambia. I'd strongly recommend visiting Livingstone as soon as possible, before it becomes completely overrun with lodges, hotels, tourist restaurants, fast food chains, etc. etc. etc. like Niagra has become. The falls are truly one of the most magnificent thing you will ever experience. Safety and crime are negligable problems if you follow the same safety rules that you would in any foreign country. October is a good time of the year because it's not too hot yet. The river level could be quite high, so you will likely get excellent views. By December it's usually too full to see the falls through the "smoke that thunders". Marc On Sat, 2 Sep 2006 23:37:36 +0200, Geir wrote: Is Livingstone in Zambia a good place to travel?
