Accommodation
April is peak tourism season in Livingstone, with high visitor numbers to Victoria Falls, and hotel rooms fill up quickly. Delegates are strongly advised to book and confirm their accommodation as soon as possible. The Conference Organisers cannot guarantee assistance with accommodation for late bookings or for delegates arriving in Livingstone without confirmed reservations. A list of recommended hotels, including any available special delegate rates, is provided on the conference website.
Transport & arrival
Delegates may arrive via Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula International Airport (LVI) in Livingstone or Victoria Falls International Airport (Zimbabwe). Please arrange airport transfers with your hotel in advance where shuttle services are available.
If your hotel does not provide airport transfers, you may use locally available transport options, including Yango ride-hailing services and private taxis, for travel from the airport to your accommodation.
Conference-arranged shuttle bus services will operate between the recommended hotels and the conference venue. Delegates who miss the scheduled shuttle services may also use Yango or private taxis for convenient transport to and from the venue.
All delegates are encouraged to download and read the updated Information Note in full to ensure smooth participation.
