Whose whispers echo through these skeletal remains? They tell the tale of Livingstone’s Ghost town. Once a bustling frontier town called Old Drift, it thrived on the banks of the Zambezi River, a vital crossing point for traders and explorers. But Old Drift had a deadly secret: malaria. The mosquito-infested banks led to a terrifying mortality rate among the settlers. Desperate for a solution, they decided to relocate. A new town was founded further inland, away from the river’s dangers. This town, named Livingstone, thrived, eventually becoming the capital of Northern Rhodesia. The Old Drift, however, faded into memory, its buildings swallowed by the bush, leaving behind a haunting reminder of a forgotten time. The Ghost town stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the ever-changing landscape of history.
