Trip breakdown
Flow
Met at Victoria Falls airport or the border and transferred to your hotel. After check-in, a guided tour of Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwean side, walking the rainforest trail through the viewpoints from Devil’s Cataract to the Eastern Cataract. The afternoon is free for the craft market or an optional activity.
An early start and the crossing at Kazungula into Botswana. A morning cruise on the Chobe River among elephant, hippo and buffalo, lunch at a riverside lodge, then an afternoon game drive on the floodplain before returning to Victoria Falls for your departure transfer.
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.
