Cancellation and booking
Cancel at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Booking is confirmed immediately. Final terms are the ones shown on Viator at the time you book.
Practical details
Guiding is offered in German, HI, FI, Portuguese, CM and HR. A mobile ticket is accepted, so there is nothing to print. Bookings are taken for up to 1 travellers at a time. The operator may cancel for bad weather, in which case you are offered another date or a refund.
Where this fits in your trip
Scenic flights leave from the airfield just outside town and are the only way to take in the whole width of the falls and the zigzag gorges at once. Victoria Falls town sits on the Zimbabwean bank of the Zambezi, a short walk from the rainforest viewpoints and close enough to the gorge that the spray is visible from the main street in full flood. Most visitors base themselves here for two or three nights and fill the days with a mix of water, air and game viewing.
