- Visa Requirements – Zimbabwe & Zambia: Guided Tour of the Falls from Both Sides We recommend purchasing the KAZA Univisa (USD 50) if your nationality is eligible, as it allows multiple entries between Zimbabwe and Zambia during its validity and is the most convenient option for this tour. It also covers day trips to Botswana via Kazungula. If your nationality is not eligible for the KAZA Univisa, we recommend purchasing a Zimbabwe Double Entry Visa (USD 50) before crossing into Zambia and returning to Zimbabwe. The good news is that most nationalities do not require a visa for Zambia, but requirements vary depending on your passport. Please bring cash (USD) for visa payments, as card machines at the border may occasionally be unavailable. If you are unsure which visa applies to your nationality, please contact us before your tour and we will be happy to assist you with the correct visa requirements.

Zimbabwe & Zambia: Guided Tour of the Falls from Both Sides: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Victoria Falls.
How much does Zimbabwe & Zambia: Guided Tour of the Falls from Both Sides cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Victoria Falls usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Zimbabwe & Zambia: Guided Tour of the Falls from Both Sides take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Victoria Falls is not rushed.
Is Zimbabwe & Zambia: Guided Tour of the Falls from Both Sides worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 288 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Victoria Falls, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Zimbabwe & Zambia: Guided Tour of the Falls from Both Sides?
+
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 Zimbabwe & Zambia: Guided Tour of the Falls from Both Sides suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Zimbabwe & Zambia: Guided Tour of the Falls from Both Sides?
+
Around 101 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 Victoria Falls 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 Victoria Falls and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Zimbabwe & Zambia: Guided Tour of the Falls from Both Sides 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 Victoria Falls 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 Victoria Falls?
+
On Outty we rank every Victoria Falls experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Victoria Falls Dinner Cruise on the Zambezi River, Victoria Falls Theatre Featuring Simunye: The Spirit of Africa, Zambezi River Class IV-V White-Water Rafting from Victoria Falls. 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 Victoria Falls?
+
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 Victoria Falls?
+
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.
