Thinking of taking the kids to Victoria Falls in Zambia? Great choice! This natural wonder is packed with escapades that will keep the little ones entertained while giving you a chance to unwind. From finding the perfect home away from home to rewarding activities, here’s how to plan the ultimate family-friendly adventure.

Find the Right Resort
Travelling with kids is a whole different game, and where you stay can make or break the trip. Pick a Livingstone property like Avani Victoria Falls Resort within walking distance of the falls to save on travel time and to also enjoy a spacious family room, kid-friendly dining, and a top-notch kids’ club (more on that coming up). With organised excursions on offer as well, there’s never a dull moment.

Check the Kids’ Club
A great kids’ club isn’t just about keeping them busy and it’s about making their trip just as exciting as yours by featuring fun activities in Livingstone. Look for one that offers nature walks, an arts and crafts workshop, Zambian storytelling, and even visits to the Livingstone Museum or Reptile / Crocodile Park. Meanwhile, you can sneak off for a relaxing massage at the resort spa. Everyone wins!

Activities to Enjoy as a Family
A visit to Victoria Falls isn’t just about seeing this magical natural wonder (though, of course, it is incredible). Kids will also love the chance to go on pony rides, while families can go on game drives in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, to spot zebras, giraffes, monkeys and more. If your little explorers are a bit older, try a river safari, canoe trip, or even a helicopter ride over the falls that will leave them (and you) in awe!

Unique Dining Experiences
For a dining experience like no other, visit The Elephant Café, where families can watch elephants roaming nearby before enjoying a meal. Ensure your chosen resort in Livingstone also offers a chance to experience a boma dinner, a lively alfresco feast in a Zambian-style village setting; apart from local dishes, you can expect performances by traditional singers, Ngoni dancers and djembe drummers for an unforgettable night under the stars.
