    Good way to really see all of the Falls Zambia side from all points of view

    Was picked up at my hotel. Went to the Falls with the guide and driver. We began by walking to the bottom of the Falls and looking up, enjoying the grandour. Then we walked all the way up and saw the Falls from many points of view. The guide knew alot about birds and animals and was a great guide.

    Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for the Feedback. We appreciated the Tour with you as Well. Nina

    Amazing tour and Superb Tour Guide

    The tour was excellent and our tour guide was warm, knowledgeable and attentive to details. During the tour he even offered to keep my water and sweater for me. On top of that, he drove us into town to an ATM at our request. The view of the fall was amazing and being an elderly tourist, our tour guide made it pleasant and comfortable for us to enjoy both the spectaculouss view and the leisurely walk. I would recommend this tour to anyone with no reservation!

    Would do it again during the rainy season

    It was a great tour but unfortunately i came during the dry season so there was no water coming off the falls.. However i wasn't going to let that stop me from viewing it. My tour guide was soo gracious and was very knowledgeable about the history of the falls. I would definitely come back!!

    Spectaculat views

    I have visited Iguazu, Victoria Falls and Niagara Falls (rated in this order). Althought Iguazu is much more spectacular than Victoria, still Victoria Falls are well worth a visit. I had to travel from Israel to South Africa and made the detour by Zimbabwe just to see the falls and it was worthwhile. Then I crossed the border to Zambia and took the flight to South Africa. There are lots of contradictory opinions in the web on the requirement for yellow fever vacination when arriving from Zambia to South Africa. I took the trouble to go to a traveller's vaccination center and find out. There is no such requirement.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for this helpful advice. Yes, no yellow fewer is required for Zambia. Thank you also for the rating. We will try to see Iguazu. It must be amazing.

    You miss out if you don’t have a rain jacket - especially at high water

    You miss out on so much if you do not have a rain jacket, especially during the high water season of March/April. The Falls from the Zambia side is only 20% of the entire Victoria Falls. The day previous we had hired a t tour guide for the Zimbabwe side of the Victoria Falls (80% of the total falls) and believe it was well worth our effort and money, So coming to the Zambia side from Livingston we where prepared. After paying and signing into the falls we where briefed that there illegal tours in the park and not to use them. As it was the highest of water flow period you couldn’t see much looking at the Falls due to the sheer water spray, when the spray cleared it was magnificent. Spectacular views looking back over the Victoria Falls Bridge. We walked across to Danger Point. Hang on as you cross the door Bridge here too, some people slip due to sheer speed and capacity of the water run off on the bridge. I also got stung by a bee, so be careful people with allergies. Suck the view up as they are incredible. As long as you are fit and able and elderly people have decent walking shoes (and prepared to get them saturated), I highly recommend. I walked this side of the Falls wearing flip flops. No wifi at the entrance of the Falls from the Livingstone side. It is between $USD5-7for a taxi from Livingston to the falls. Between $$USD5-10 for a return taxi trip.

    Victoria Falls Tour from Livingstone: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Livingstone.

    How much does Victoria Falls Tour from Livingstone cost?

    +

    Prices start at $90 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 Victoria Falls Tour from Livingstone 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 Victoria Falls Tour from Livingstone worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 7 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 Victoria Falls Tour from Livingstone?

    +

    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 Victoria Falls Tour from Livingstone 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 Victoria Falls Tour from Livingstone?

    +

    Around 2 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 Victoria Falls Tour from Livingstone 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 Victoria Falls Tour from Livingstone?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Professional guide; Bottled water; National Park fees; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Souvenir photos (available to purchase). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Victoria Falls Tour from Livingstone include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is Victoria Falls Tour from Livingstone offered in?

    +
