Discovering the Culture & History of Livingstone
Overview of the tour in Livingstone
Livingstone, twinned with Funchal (Madeira, Portugal), is a city rich in history and culture, with many colonial buildings still intact. The tour begins at the Livingstone Museum, offering a detailed look into the town's history and the culture of the Leya tribe of Zambia. The museum, originally the Old Town Centre, was designed by a Spanish-American architect and built in 1934. It showcases Zambia's history, from its Bantu origins to the colonial era, and features a clock donated by the Susman Brothers in honor of their arrival in Northern Rhodesia, now Livingstone.
Next, we explore one of Livingstone's oldest residential areas, where a street honors John Hunt, a curio trader who supported Zambia's independence. You’ll see the Old Hospital (1905), St. Andrew's Church in memory of David Livingstone, and the Old European Library (1921).
Finally, we visit the local market, where you can experience the daily life of the people of Livingstone. This town is a vibrant blend of history, culture, and stories waiting to be discovered.
This activity includes:
- Livingstone Museum
- St Andrew's Catholic Church
