    • Head to Mukuni Village, home to the Leya people. Get escorted by a headman around the village to show how traditional huts are made and decorated, to explain village politics and to answer any questions that you may have. 
    • This is a unique opportunity to see how the local people live in a working village, not one built for tourists. Approximately 6000 people live here, and a visit is a fascinating insight into their daily lives. A village member will show you around, and you can see how traditional huts are built and decorated. Take a look inside, meet the residents and see the locals at work.
    • Dr David Livingstone visited this village on more than one occasion, sitting under a giant mango tree in the middle of the square, to meet with the current chief. As the Chief viewed David Livingstone as an unbeliever, he was not allowed into the chief’s compound. It was also two men from this village, long time retainers of David Livingstone, who carried his body all the way to the coast after he died near Lake Bangweulu. The descendants of these men still live in the village.
    • There is also a large craft market in the village for you to buy some locally made crafts, or even attempt to give it a go yourself.
