Kazungula, a small centre located on the north bank of the Zambezi River about 70 kilometres west of Livingstone on the M10 Road, a crucial border town at the intersection of Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Namibia, offering access to nearby access like to relevant attractions like Chobe National Park and Victoria Falls, has launched a €12 million water supply project aimed to boost economic growth, sustainable development, investment and tourism.
The project, funded through the SADC Water Fund in collaboration with KFW, Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau, a renowned German public development bank and the Development Bank of Southern Africa, will provide clean water to over 20,000 residents and support the high transit population across this strategic Southern African corridor.
Local authorities see the new facility as a foundation for attracting tourism investment, particularly around the Zambezi River that offers diverse tourism experiences, from adrenaline - pumping white - water rafting and riverboarding to tranquil canoe safaris and wildlife viewing cruises, Chobe National Park, a major draw for wildlife enthusiasts, offering game drives, boat cruises, with opportunities to see a variety of animals, and the iconic Victoria Falls located near Livingstone, a must - see attraction, offering various experiences like dinner cruises, helicopter flights, and bungee jumping.
In addition the improved water infrastructure paves the way for eco - lodges, hotels, and agro - tourism developments, while enabling large - scale irrigation and agro - processing.
With strong government backing and regional support, the town of Kazungula aims to position itself as a competitive and attractive hub for integrated tourism and infrastructure development.
