Livingstone is named for missionary and explorer David Livingstone. It became the capital of Northern Rhodesia, now Zambia, in 1911, but the capital was moved to Lusaka in 1935. It is by far Zambia's most popular tourist destination. Nearby Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world, is a must see for all visitors to the region. The city also acts as a base for several major safari comapnies.
