Elephant Café Lunch Experience
A signature wildlife and dining experience
The Elephant Café combines three memorable parts of Livingstone in one carefully arranged experience: a journey along the Zambezi River, a hosted encounter with a rescued elephant herd and an elegant gourmet lunch overlooking the river.
Your journey begins with transfer support to the launch point and an exciting Zambezi boat trip through river channels near Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. On arrival, the elephant team introduces the herd and shares their individual stories, behaviour and conservation journey.
After the encounter, relax at the riverside restaurant and enjoy a refined set-menu lunch featuring locally inspired ingredients and flavours in one of Livingstone’s most distinctive settings.
