Mukuni's Village is a Royal village which was founded around the 13th Century.
It is home to about 7,000 Leya people. The chief has invited visitors into his
village to get a glimpse of how his people have lived for generations and to
learn a little about their traditional customs and beliefs.
The Chief’s guides
and the people of the village are more than happy to show visitors their huts
and take you inside, explain how they are built and decorated, introduce you to
various craftsmen and women at work and ask you to taste some traditional foods
and beer. This is a working village, not a purpose built tourist attraction, and
it is a privilege to be welcomed into their lifestyle.
This is the largest market in Livingstone - colourful, vibrant and bustling with activity. Here the local people sell everything; "chitengies" (brightly coloured fabric), fruit and vegetables, grains and rice, curios, pots and pans made out of old motorcars, farm tools, chickens, beads and clothes. This is where the people of Livingstone come to shop! A guide will accompany you and with the help of some bargaining skills some very interesting and authentic artefacts can be bought. This tour is a most unusual and rewarding experience for the clever shopper.
