Amazing time !
We had an amazing time on this tour. Our tour guide was Stecy and she was very knowledgeable about the falls. I was also travelling with my 1 year old baby and she helped out massively with her too. Would definitely recommend this tour. Such an amazing experience.

A Great Way to Handle the Logistics of the Border to see the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park Side of the Falls
When finally visiting Victoria Falls (a long delayed trip due to the pandemic), I wanted too see both sides. Not being familiar with the Zambian side, and concerned about the logistics of the border crossings, I booked this tour. The driver and guide found me near the bridge and got me across the border. Then the guide took me to all the different areas of Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park on the Zambia side. Afterwards, they got me back to cross into Zimbabwe, where I toured Victoria Falls National Park on my own. It was really great getting to experience both sides, at that amazing place. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of my guide, nor the driver, but both were great.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, and we’re truly glad to hear that you finally got to experience Victoria Falls after such a long delay due to the pandemic. Just to help refresh your memory, your guide was Ceasar and your driver was William—both are valued members of our HSM Adventures team, and they will be very happy to know you enjoyed their service. We’re delighted that the cross-border logistics went smoothly and that you were able to experience both the Zambian side (Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park) and the Zimbabwean side of Victoria Falls with ease. It’s always our goal to make the experience stress-free and memorable, especially for guests visiting both sides for the first time. Thank you once again for choosing HSM Adventures Tours & Safaris. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back to Livingstone and Victoria Falls in the future.

Guided Tour of the Victoria Falls on the Zambian side: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Livingstone.
How much does Guided Tour of the Victoria Falls on the Zambian side cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Livingstone usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guided Tour of the Victoria Falls on the Zambian side take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Livingstone is not rushed.
Is Guided Tour of the Victoria Falls on the Zambian side worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Livingstone, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guided Tour of the Victoria Falls on the Zambian side?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Guided Tour of the Victoria Falls on the Zambian side suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guided Tour of the Victoria Falls on the Zambian side?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Livingstone can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Livingstone and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided Tour of the Victoria Falls on the Zambian side start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Livingstone within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Livingstone?
+
On Outty we rank every Livingstone experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Game Drive & Rhino Safari Exp - up to 3 hrs long - MIN 2 PEOPLE, Raft the Zambezi, Zambezi Whitewater Rafting — Full Day All 25 Rapids : Livingstone. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Livingstone?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Livingstone?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Guided Tour of the Victoria Falls on the Zambian side?
+
Included: Carbonated beverages; All Fees and Taxes; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Bottled water. Not included: Visa. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Guided Tour of the Victoria Falls on the Zambian side include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 53 listed pickup locations in and around Livingstone. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Guided Tour of the Victoria Falls on the Zambian side offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Guided Tour of the Victoria Falls on the Zambian side?
