Many tourists deplore that authorities in Zambia have left the Sesheke-Livingstone Road to a poor state.
The Sesheke-Livingstone Road is an international route that connects Zambia to Namibia. The tourists come from Europe, especially Germans who come to Zambia through this road. Zambia also receives a lot of imported goods that use the Walvis Bay Harbour in Namibia. The Sesheke-Livingstone Road is also a transit route for goods to DRC, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya. The route has big economic potential to the Zambian economic development as it is also a transit route for goods to DRC, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya.
Every driver has to admit that using the road to go to Livingstone is a poor experience!
Some tourists from Germany complained to one of the Tour Operators in Livingstone that if they knew the status of the road, they would have chosen other options.
The Tourists wondered how the Zambian government would leave such an important road in such a state without fear of losing Tourists who would opt to go to other countries.
“I have been receiving such complaints and this is really affecting the Tourism sector and it seems those in-charge are unmoved and do not care but please don’t mention my name because these guys are ruthless they will come for my business,” stated one anonymous Tour Operator.
