FAQ

Most travelers can obtain a visa on arrival in Zimbabwe or Zambia, making your journey refreshingly straightforward. For even greater flexibility, the KAZA UniVisa allows seamless travel between both countries—perfect if you want to experience the falls from every angle.

Getting there is easier than you think. A short-haul flight (direct or with one connection) takes you from Cape Town to the falls in just a few hours—swapping ocean views for one of the world’s greatest natural wonders in a single day.

You have two excellent options:

• Victoria Falls Airport (Zimbabwe): Closest to the falls, ideal for iconic views and quick transfers

• Livingstone Airport (Zambia): A relaxed gateway with easy access and fantastic activity options
  
  

Whichever you choose, you’re never far from the magic.

There’s no wrong time—only different experiences:

• February to July: Feel the raw power as the falls roar at full force, sending mist high into the sky

• August to January: Clearer views, perfect for photography and bucket-list activities like Devil’s Pool
  
  

Every season tells a different story.

Travel with ease:

• US Dollars are widely accepted in Zimbabwe

• Zambian Kwacha is used in Zambia, though USD is commonly welcomed in tourist areas
  ​​​​​​​Cards are accepted at most hotels and lodges, but a little cash is always useful.

Yes—Victoria Falls is one of Africa’s most established and welcoming destinations. With well-developed tourism infrastructure and friendly locals, you can focus on enjoying every moment.

This is more than a destination—it’s an adventure playground:

• Walk alongside the mighty falls and feel the spray on your skin

• Soar above in a helicopter for the legendary “Flight of Angels”

• Drift along the Zambezi River at sunset

• Chase adrenaline with white-water rafting or bungee jumping

• Or simply pause and take in one of the most awe-inspiring sights on Earth

A quick visit to your doctor before travel is recommended. Malaria prophylaxis is advised for the region, along with staying up to date on routine vaccinations.

We recommend 2–3 nights to truly experience the falls and a few unforgettable activities. If time allows, stay longer—you won’t regret it.

Think light, practical, and ready for adventure:

• Comfortable walking shoes

• Light clothing + a waterproof layer (you will get misted!)

• Sunscreen, hat, and insect repellent

• A sense of wonder

Absolutely—and you should. Enhance your journey with a safari in nearby Chobe National Park or Hwange National Park, where elephants, lions, and vast landscapes await.

Both—and more. Whether you’re traveling as a family, a couple, or solo, Victoria Falls offers something extraordinary for everyone, from gentle river cruises to heart-racing adventures.

From city sophistication to untamed natural wonder, this journey is one of Africa’s most iconic travel experiences. All that’s left is for you to take the first step.
