Shop till you drop in a lively market.

Busy, popular and full of hustle and bustle, a visit to the Dambwa market is a great insight into local life in Livingstone Town.

Shop till you drop in a lively market.

What you'll do

A real-life, sometimes chaotic and always busy scene awaits the Dambwa market, Livingstone’s main trading area. Along with a guide, wander the stalls and browse the produce for sale – you’ll see everything from dried fish and live chickens to stunning African fabrics and intricate carvings of the river God Nyami Nyami. If something catches your eye, test out your bartering skills or otherwise, soak up the lively atmosphere and watch the world go by.
