Part 1 – Livingstone Museum

The tour starts with the collection of the guest from their lodge or hotel in Livingstone and a trip through the town to the the oldest museum in Zambia, Livingstone Museum. Here you will learn all about Zambia’s natural and cultural heritage .

The museum houses a very comprehensive collection of some of David Livingstone’s personal belongings including journals, photographs and letters. You will be given an insight into this world-renowned philanthropist and missionary.

Part 2 – Mukuni Curio Market and Maramba Market

The next part of your tour will take you to the Mukuni Curio Market and the Maramba Market, where you will experience part of a day in the life of a Zambian by observing the hustle and bustle of the colourful activity in the market, where the locals sell everything from “chitenges” (brightly coloured fabric) to local artwork made from various materials such as old vehicles and tools.

See the daily routine of the locals buying vegetables, fruits, grains and rice and nuts which form a big part of their daily diet. A guide will accompany you and help you with the bargaining ritual to get some great artefacts at bargain prices, a very interesting and rewarding experience.

Optional – The Railway Museum

The Livingstone Railway Museum can be found in the historic locomotive sheds at the Zambezi Sawmills. This hugely interesting Railway Steam Museum displays locomotives and artefacts dating back to the 1930’s when the Zambezi Sawmills was reputed to have the worlds longest rail-line.
