With all of the adventure opportunities in Livingstone, we certainly needed a base camp to relax and rejuvenate. The Chrismar Hotel<\/a> was the perfect setting for us while in Zambia.<\/p>\n

When we first arrived at the end of a lone road, I was a little uncertain about the location, as it appeared to be in the middle of nowhere. But that depends on what you want….<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The hotel is only a five minute drive to downtown Livingstone, but is literally a one minute walk to the Zambezi river and wild animal game park. It’s only a two minute walk to the starting point of awesome adventures like Batoka Sky, helicopter rides, and four wheelin’ through the African bush.<\/p>\n

Zach and I headed down to the river almost immediately. Monkeys entertained us as we spoke with the locals, got our first view of Livingstone Island, and Zach met his first albino Zambian.<\/p>\n

The food wasn’t bad at all, if only the variety had been a bit more, but we were there during the off season. The caterpillars though certainly were interesting!<\/p>\n

With a drink in hand, a local musician sets the perfect scene as the sun sets over the Zambian sky. After the set was over, you retire to a most comfortable bed to rest before a new adventure in the morning.<\/p>\n

It truly was the perfect place for us while here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
