  1. Yes this was a nice day of its kind, well done to those that participated, all the best

    From your friends in Livingstone 2015

    • How did I miss this event. Please Zambia advertise such events adequately so that many can attend. Too bad I missed. This was a colourful event for sure.

    • where is @Nostradamus…. ine shocked, so you have carnival festivals also in liverpool Luapula kwa mununga,it is was just rain making science,, what is carvival festival called in luapula again???

    • Lovely more of this but please advertise on CNN, Aljazeera and BBC to attract tourists. This initiative is long over due, should be held yearly.

      well done.

    • @Ndobo, in Luapula we call Carnival as Sandauni…
      It is too bad that they did want us to demonstrate real witchcraft, like “making rain” or lighting (akalumba!!), we roast fish with just one paper of Post Newspaper.
      Sorry people, nalele pa chililo caba Willie Nsanda all weekend!!

    • When is the next event so that we can budget and set time apart. Next year’s should explosive.

  2. Great Photos, but make it more civil as much as possible no need for Soldiers. Carnival should be purely Civil whilst Soldiers/police should be clad in non Military attire and placed in Strategic areas for security reasons. Let people express themselves without fear the Brazilian way or even Cape Town.
    Otherwise good start and don’t politicize it only mayor’s welcome speech.

    • Yes remove this “nkhondo nkhondo” part. We are not the only country with soldiers please. Let them also join and enjoy themselves on this day rather than being tenterhooks all the time.

  3. Wow! What a breather from Edgar and Esther’s load of pictures that LT shove down our throats and will soon attempt another batch from their medical tourism in China.

  4. I wonder why they waited for me to move back to the copperbelt before they decided to hold this carnival!! Conspiracy!!! I should have been there!!!!

  5. THIS FESTIVAL SHOULD BE A PERMANENT FEATURE IN LIVINGSTONE, SAMFYA, MPULUNGU, NSUMBU AND OTHER TOURIST CENTRES IN ZAMBIA. THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT DRAW VISITORS TO A COUNTRY. THIS IS LIKE A CARNIVAL. BUT, IT SHOULD BE PLANNED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE RAINFALL WHEN ALL RIVERS ARE STILL VERY FULL AND VICTORIA FALLS AT IT’S BEST. LET PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD START TO PLAN THEIR HOLIDAYS AROUND THE SAME FESTIVALS. AND ASSIGN OUR DESIGNERS TO IMPROVE OUR TRADITIONAL COSTUMES, ETC. WELL DONE TO THOSE WHO MADE IT HAPPEN.

  6. Good to see people decently dressed. But much more, I like the cleanness unlike the dirty we used to see which we see in Lusaka. Clean environment equals good health. well done Livingstone. Don’t allow street vendors anymore
