Livingstone Zambia
After searching quite hard in Zambia for the ideal party venue to celebrate this coming New Year, we found that the most likely venue to put out the “PARTAAY” will be the Waterfront in Livingstone. There will no doubt be a great mix of travelers, locals, backpackers and white water rafters to meet.
Location: Zambezi Waterfront Livingstone
ZAMBEZI WATERFRONT – NEWS YEARS EVE:
Where has this year gone?! Just as a reminder, our epic New Years Eve party isn’t all that far away. With the brilliant Me and Mr Brown flying in from Cape Town to entertain you with their fantastic music, this year is going to be a goodie.
There will also be marquee’s over the deck, a dance floor, 3 bars, a shooter bar and snacks.

Joe’s Beerhouse, Namibia, “The most famous Beerhouse on the African continent” is truly Namibian, an undeniably African Ledgend. Set in a tranquil Oasis with relics of old and collections of new, Windhoek’s most popular restaurant is a world of its own where the desert breeze captures the senses in a whirl wind of visual and culinary delights.
