The way to make sure that you book a cheap flight from Johannesburg to Livingstone is by first comparing airline prices and then checking the airfare of every airline flying the route (links to their online reservation systems below). Flights leaving on Fridays are usually more expensive (everybody wants to get away at the start of the weekend). Another option is to fly from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls.

Livingstone Airport is a small airport, where we were greeted in the rain by groundstaff with umbrellas. There are a couple of car rental agencies (Europcar and Avis Car Hire). Whilst it didn't seem dangerous, we saw 2 soldiers carrying automatic weapons.
Livingstone has hotels in walking distance to the Victoria Falls.
