Lake Nyasa at the foot of the Livingstone Mountains was discovered by Dr Livingstone; however, Livingstone never reached the mountains due to turning their boat back in disgust at the death and destruction caused by the slave trade.

Later the mountains were named the Livingstone Mountains by a Royal Naval officer who claimed that they were the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen.

Attractions in Livingstone Mountains

Aside from the beautiful jagged mountains themselves there are an abundance of natural wonders to behold such as cascading waterfalls, rivers and dense forest. Spot an abundance of birdlife from fish eagles and swallows to African tailorbirds and Iringa akalat.

There’s also the gorgeous Lake Nyasa to explore at the foot of the Livingstone Mountains, with crocodiles and hippo to see as well as caves and waterfalls.
