Elephant Café - Livingstone, Zambia
Details
After the falls, you cross the border into Zambia for one of the most talked-about experiences in all of Southern Africa.
It starts with a jetboat. You'll depart from The David Livingstone Safari Lodge & Spa and spend 30 minutes flying upriver through the national parks of both Zimbabwe and Zambia - skimming over shallow basalt channels, navigating rapids, and spotting hippos and crocodiles along the way. This is not a gentle scenic float. It is an adventure in itself.
On arrival, a herd of rescued elephants is waiting. There's no rush, no crowds - just a small intimate group with plenty of time to actually connect with them. These gentle giants have been hand-reared and live in a protected sanctuary on the banks of the Zambezi, and getting up close with them is the kind of moment that stops you mid-sentence.
Then lunch. The Elephant Café's menu is rooted in the Zambezi landscape - every ingredient sourced from local farms, markets, and the wild, always seasonal, always fresh. Rated the number one restaurant in Zambia since 2016, this is bush gourmet cuisine unlike anything you've tasted before, served on the riverbank with the Zambezi stretching out in front of you.
