Things to note
Location: Victoria Falls is located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe in southern Africa. The Zambezi River, one of Africa's major rivers, forms the natural boundary between the two countries.
Access: Visitors can access Victoria Falls through Livingstone Town in Zambia or Victoria Falls Town in Zimbabwe. Both towns have airports, and international flights and regional connections are available.
Visa Requirements: Depending on your nationality and the country you plan to visit the falls from, you may need a visa to enter Zambia or Zimbabwe. It is essential to check the visa requirements before your trip.
Best Time to Visit: The best time to visit Victoria Falls is during the dry season, from May to October. During this period, the water flow is less intense, offering better visibility and a chance to explore the falls from various viewpoints.
Rainy Season: From November to April, the region experiences the rainy season. While the falls are at their most majestic during this time, the heavy spray can obstruct views, and some activities may be limited due to high water levels.
Safety Precautions: While visiting Victoria Falls, it's crucial to follow safety guidelines and stay within designated viewing areas. The paths near the falls can be slippery and dangerous, especially during the rainy season.
Health Considerations: Victoria Falls is located in a malaria-prone area. Visitors are advised to take necessary precautions and consult their healthcare provider for malaria prophylaxis before traveling.
Currency: The currency used in Zimbabwe is the Zimbabwean Dollar, and in Zambia, it's the Zambian Kwacha. It's a good idea to carry small denominations of both currencies when crossing between the two countries.
Photography: Don't forget your camera! Victoria Falls offers numerous photo opportunities, and you'll want to capture unforgettable moments.
Respect for Wildlife: Victoria Falls and the surrounding areas are home to diverse wildlife. Respect their habitats and keep a safe distance while observing animals in their natural environment.
