Livingstone: Guided City Tour with Markets & Crafts

Explore Livingstone on a guided tour. Visit Maramba and Dambwa Central Markets, discover colonial architecture, and meet local artisans at Mukuni Park Crafts Village.
Begin your tour in the heart of Livingstone City, where history and culture intertwine seamlessly. Walk through streets that still carry the echoes of Zambia’s colonial past while reflecting the energy of a modern African city.

See colonial architecture, with buildings that retain their distinctive red-brick or whitewashed colonial design. Learn how these structures represent the era when Livingstone served as the capital of Northern Rhodesia (before Lusaka took over in 1935).

Pass by the Livingstone Museum, the oldest and largest museum in Zambia, where you can learn about archaeology, ethnography, and the story of Dr. David Livingstone, after whom the city was named.

Experience the city center atmosphere as you walk past local shops, cafés, and banks. See locals on bicycles, vendors selling fruits, and a mix of tourists and residents going about their daily business. Admire street murals and art that reflect Zambia’s heritage, wildlife, and cultural pride.

As you stroll through the city, hear stories of Livingstone’s history: how it became a hub for explorers, missionaries, and traders; how its character was shaped by the movement of people across southern Africa; and how it continues to be a cultural capital today.

Instead of being a passive observer, interact with locals. Stop to greet them in the traditional Tonga or Lozi languages, learn how to say “Muli bwanji?” (How are you?) or “Bwanji bo” (a common Lozi greeting). These small interactions create big smiles and break down the barrier between visitor and host.
