Map of Vic Falls town

 

Vic Falls as it is known locally is a vibrant tourism centre

Luxury hotels - bush lodges - self catering or bed and breakfast are just a few of the accommodation choices.

Blend this with aerial activities, land activities or water activities - add a dash of nightlife with traditional dance shows, fine dining and eating and you have a safe and perfect safari holiday destination

victoria falls Baobab Drive

The town of Victoria Falls is small and easy to negotiate. There's a moderate amount of pressure from touts as you walk down the street but nothing ominous or intolerable

Not forgetting

- the chance of encountering an elephant or two or a steam train crossing the street!

- the majesty of the Victoria Falls of which 70% can be viewed from the Zimbabwe side.

Most nationalities can obtain a visa at immigration points at the airports and land boarder posts.

If you intend to view Victoria Falls from both sides purchase a double entry visa rather then a single entry visa as it will work out cheaper.

Payment is accepted in other currencies as well but we recommend to carry US$ cash in small denominations.

At departure via airports or land boarders no departure tax has to be paid
