A safari shows you Zambia’s wild side. A community tour shows you its soul.
Zambia’s wildlife is extraordinary — but the country’s greatest asset is its people. In Livingstone and the surrounding region, centuries of Tonga and Leya culture, colonial history, and the legacy of the explorer David Livingstone himself have woven a story that deserves to be heard, not just glimpsed from a passing vehicle. Our community tours are designed to give you direct access to that story — through the people who live it.
Whether you are walking the floors of the Livingstone Museum, browsing the stalls of Maramba Market, cooking alongside a Tonga family in Mukwalantila Village, a Leya family in Mukuni Village, or tracing the footsteps of the town’s early settlers, these tours offer something that no game drive can: a genuine human connection with the place you have travelled so far to reach.
We offer these experiences because they matter to us. Nekacheya Travel & Tours was founded with a deep commitment to the community of Livingstone — our founder Herbert was a teacher before he was a tour operator, and we run a school alongside our safari business. When you join a community tour with us, a portion of your experience directly supports the people and places you visit.
