All the main sights of Livingstone are concentrated beyond its borders. As already mentioned, the majestic Victoria Falls is considered the main symbol of the city. The best place to observe the fall of a huge mass of water is “The Blade of a Knife“. It is a small island in the middle of the river with a stunning view of the waterfall. Also, many Tripety travelers prefer to look at Victoria from the Livingstone Bridge that stretches across the Zambezi or from the top of a giant baobab that grows nearby.
Below the Victoria there is one of the most picturesque waterfalls in Central Africa – Ngonye. Many tourists have a short trip to enjoy this view.
