| The Songwe experience can be anything you want it to be. You might simply choose to take a walk along the gorge and take in the incredible scenes, or pack a picnic lunch and watch the world go idly by from the banks of the Upper Zambezi. As well as offering the big adventure experiences, from white water rafting to bungee jumping or even a microlight flight over the Falls, Songwe is about people and culture, set in an intimate and beautiful location.
The belief at Songwe is that a trip to Africa isn’t complete without a meaningful introduction to the rich cultural heritage of the African people. From the camp, you'll be taken on a morning ox cart ride to a specially built museum, where you can learn about the extraordinary ancient history of the Falls and see evidence of human evolution in the form of stone tools and artifacts.
At nearby Mukuni Village, more recent history comes to life, as you stand under the tree where David Livingstone met the present chief's ancestors about 150 years ago. In this 700 year old village, little has changed down through the ages. You'll see traditional skills such as wood carving and grain pounding still being carried out. You may even chance a meeting with Chief Mukuni himself. The town of Livingstone itself, with its fascinating history, colorful markets and interesting museum, can be a very worthwhile excursion.
Staff of Songwe will collect you from your flight into Livingstone or Victoria Falls and transfer you to Songwe Village. Both prior to and during your stay, daily activities can be arranged, with specialist guiding at your disposal. Please note that the rates do not include transfers. |
