Where this fits in your trip

Day trips across the border are routine here, but they are still international travel: carry your passport, allow time at the post and check your own visa position before the day. 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.
