Lorato Lodge and Camping

In neighbouring Zambia, the city of Livingstone (two hours’ drive) was named after the famed Scottish explorer. The Livingstone Museum displays interesting ethnographic artefacts, plus botany and archaeological collections. Formed by the Zambezi River as it drops from a height of more than 100 metres into a narrow gorge, the Victoria Falls (two hours), on the Zambia–Zimbabwe border, make for a spectacular sight. Shaded hiking trails lead to high observation points, and there is also whitewater rafting and canoeing. The Baobab Gallery in the Savuti Plains, on the outskirts of Savuti (three hours), is an oasis of these long-lived and unusual-looking trees, which have an important spiritual meaning to local populations.
