Chief Mukuni's Village Tour

Chief Mukuni's Village Tour

Chief Mukuni's Village is a Royal village that was founded around the 13th Century. It is home to about 7,000 Leya people. The chief has invited visitors into his village to get a glimpse of how his people have lived for generations and to learn a little about their traditional customs and beliefs.

The Chief’s guides and the people of the village are more than happy to show visitors their huts and take you inside, explain how they are built and decorated, introduce you to various craftsmen and women at work, and ask you to taste some traditional foods and beer. This is a working village, not a purpose-built tourist attraction, and it is a privilege to be welcomed into their lifestyle

Maramba Market

This is the largest market in Livingstone - colorful, vibrant, and bustling with activity. Here the local people sell everything; "chitenges" (brightly colored fabric), fruit and vegetables, grains and rice, pots and pans made out of old motorcars, farm tools, chickens, beads, and clothes.

This is where the people of Livingstone come to shop! A guide will accompany you and with the help of some bargaining skills, some very interesting and authentic artifacts can be bought. This tour is a most unusual and rewarding experience for the clever shopper.
