Zambezi Waterfront

The independent traveller's one-stop solution to Vic Falls, cheap and cheerful campsite, adventure village & chalets

Whether you're a single backpacker, a family planning a self-drive camping trip or busy organising an overland group throughAfrica, you'll find the Zambezi Waterfront convenient, cost-effective and easy to arrange.

The Waterfront has a large serviced campsite, a tented village and en-suite chalets.  The complex includes a restaurant, shop and the "Adventure Centre".  It's ideal for the adventurous and young at heart. It's family friendly and caters for all ages. 

Getting onto the river is a must and with this in mind the Waterfront offers MV Makumbi, a 100-passenger double-decker cruise boat for booze cruises. A second cruiser, Jambesi is available for smaller parties up to 20 people.

The team at the "adventure centre" can arrange any activity in the area on the spot.  Local transfers to the airport ($13), Livingstone town ($15) orVictoria Falls ($18) are simple enough to sort out.

Seasonal specials are usually available in the quieter months from mid January to June. Advance bookings are essential during the festive period, over Easter and during regional school holidays. July to October is usually a busy time at the Waterfront.


Livingstone has a huge amount of activities on offer, from the adrenalin seeker to the more tranquil.
