One waterfall, two countries

Why the sides feel so different

The Zambezi forms the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, and Victoria Falls, Mosi-oa-Tunya, the smoke that thunders, falls between them. Most of the width of the Falls faces the Zimbabwean side, which is why the classic panoramic viewpoints are there: a rainforest trail runs opposite the Falls from Devil's Cataract to the Eastern Cataract.

The Zambian side is closer and more physical. The Knife-Edge Bridge puts you face on to the Eastern Cataract with the gorge directly below, and a steep path leads down to the Boiling Pot. One side gives you the panorama, the other gives you the spray in your face, which is why people who have time do both.

Crossing the border

Passports, the bridge and visas

The Victoria Falls Bridge, opened in 1905, links the two countries, and the border posts sit at either end. You need your passport for the crossing, and visa fees are your own cost.

Visa rules for Zimbabwe and Zambia, including the combined KAZA visa that has covered both, change from time to time, so check the current position for your nationality before you travel. We will tell you what applies when you book.

How three days covers both sides

The 3-Day Zimbabwe & Zambia Falls Excursion

Day one is arrival, check-in and an afternoon guided tour of the Zimbabwean side, with a stop at the Big Tree, a baobab that has stood for centuries.

Day two crosses into Livingstone for a guided tour of the Zambian side. The rest of the day is open for adventure: Devil's Pool in season, the gorge swing or a tandem zip line over the Batoka Gorge, and a sundowner cruise on the Zambezi before you return to your hotel.

Day three starts with an optional early wildlife experience, such as the Livingstone rhino walk, then checkout, an optional town tour for markets and souvenirs, and the transfer to the airport.

What is included

And what you pay on the day

The excursion starts from $700 per person and includes accommodation, airport transfers, inter-hotel transfers and water. Visa fees and park entry fees are not included, and the optional activities on day two are booked and paid separately.

Doing one side at a time

If you only have a morning

If a full excursion does not fit, each side works as a short tour on its own. The guided tour of the Zimbabwean side takes a morning or an afternoon, and the Zambian side tour across the Knife-Edge Bridge starts from $30 per person.
