Lusaka–Livingstone road

The Lusaka–Livingstone Road or Livingstone Road is the main highway of the Southern Province of Zambia from the capital, Lusaka, to the principal tourist destination, Livingstone, Southern Africa.

The highway starts 55 km south of Lusaka, just across the Kafue Bridge, turning off the Great North Road, historically once seen as part of a Cape to Cairo Road, which comes up from the border town of Chirundu and Harare in Zimbabwe. Because the latter route is the road to the south, the Livingstone road has never been widely called the "Great South Road" in the style of its north, east and west counterparts.

It is a magnificent scenic road with views throughout.
