When most travellers think of Livingstone, their minds jump straight to adrenaline-filled adventures, sunset cruises, and of course the mighty Victoria Falls.

Livingstone is one of those rare destinations that truly understands families. Not in a “kids go here, adults wait there” way, but in a way that invites everyone into the experience.

Livingstone, Zambia may be best known for Victoria Falls, but its natural story runs much deeper. From the Zambezi’s riverbanks to the woodlands of Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, the area is rich in plant and animal life, both iconic and often overshadowed.

There’s nothing quite like the roar of a rapid in your ears, the splash of water on your face, and the adrenaline surge that comes with navigating a drop you can’t quite see the bottom of yet. For those of us who live for the thrill, the paddle-gripping, stomach-churning, breath-stealing kind, white water rafting is more than a sport: it’s a global pursuit. 

Meet Becca, a 26-year-old solo female traveller from the US who came to Livingstone with one goal: finally paddle the mighty Zambezi River, and maybe figure out whether kayaking was actually her sport after all.

Once a month, the Zambezi delivers something surreal. Under the light of a full moon, the Falls produce something few people on Earth ever witness: a Lunar Rainbow.

Devil’s Pool Victoria Falls isn’t your average infinity pool! Imagine dangling at the edge of the world’s largest waterfall, with the Zambezi thundering beneath you.

September 22nd marks World Rhino Day, a global moment of reflection, hope, and action for one of Earth’s most endangered species. Here in Livingstone, Zambia, we’re lucky to be just minutes away from a powerful conservation story, one that unfolds daily in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, where Zambia’s only white rhinos roam.

If you’re staying at Jollyboys, chances are you’re here for more than just the hammock life. You want adventure. You want adrenaline. You want the Zambezi River, and there’s no better time to hit it than during low water rafting season.
