Trip breakdown
Flow
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name board carrying your name. Arrival times are checked against the flight, so a late inbound does not leave you without a vehicle.
A direct drive of roughly 20 minutes from the airport into Victoria Falls town. Game does occasionally cross this road, and drivers will stop if something worth seeing is on the verge.
Straight to your hotel reception with luggage assistance. Your driver can confirm your departure pickup and answer the first round of questions about activity timings.
Before you go
Victoria Falls International Airport (VFA) serves the Zimbabwe side and Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport (LVI) serves Livingstone, Zambia. Both have basic facilities including currency exchange, car rentals, and transfers to hotels. VFA has recently been upgraded with improved terminals and amenities.
For domestic flights, arrive 1.5 hours before departure. For international flights, arrive 2-3 hours early. The airports are relatively small but can get busy during peak tourist seasons. Check-in counters typically open 2 hours before flight time.
The best time depends on your priorities: February-May for maximum water flow, September-December for Devil's Pool access and clearer views, or April-June for pleasant weather with moderate water flow. Avoid November if you want clear photos as spray can be heavy.
Yes, October is excellent! Water levels are moderate, the spray isn't overwhelming, weather is warm (25-35°C), and Devil's Pool is usually accessible. It's less crowded than peak season and offers good value for money.
September offers excellent conditions: Water flow is reduced enough for clear views, weather is warm and dry, Devil's Pool opens (usually mid-August to January), and it's shoulder season with fewer crowds. Perfect for photography and activities.

Focus Travel is an incredible company. From the beginning, they have been so responsive to my questions via WhatsApp. My driver, Thabiso, was amazing. He was punctual, holding a sign for me at the airport, friendly, and I made it to my hotel with plenty of time before my excursion. I cannot recommend Focus enough for all your Victoria Falls needs.
Die Abholung vom Fahrer, Thabiso, und dem Guide, Ashli, hat sehr gut geklappt. Sie waren pünktlich und haben mich mit einem Schild am Flughafenausgang empfangen, was ein schnelles Finden ermöglichte. Thabiso und Ashli waren immer mega freundlich und sehr sympathisch. Absolute Empfehlung für die beiden Jungs.
Der Fahrer war pünktlich, sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich.
