Begin your journey on the Zimbabwean side of Victoria Falls, home to breathtaking panoramic viewpoints and the famous Main Falls. Walk through the lush rainforest as your knowledgeable guide shares the fascinating history, geology, and local legends behind the world's largest curtain of falling water. Cross into Zambia to witness the falls from a completely different perspective. Visit the spectacular Knife-Edge Bridge, where you'll enjoy incredible views of the Eastern Cataract, the Boiling Pot, and the mighty Zambezi River. During the high-water season, feel the refreshing spray that gives Victoria Falls its local name, "Mosi-oa-Tunya" – The Smoke That Thunders. Your adventure continues with a guided tour of Livingstone, Zambia's tourism capital. Discover its rich colonial history, vibrant local culture, bustling markets, and key landmarks while learning about the explorer Dr. David Livingstone, after whom the town is named.

- 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.

A very well-organised tour. Group was only 5 people, while the guide was very knowledgeable, especially on the Zimbabwe side. Logistics, despite crossing an international border, was smooth. In high-flow season I recommend wearing a waterproof jacket, while raincoat rentals are provided, they won't stop you from getting wet. Also bring along a pair of slippers. I left my jacket in the car, but they very kindly delivered it to my accommodation at the end of the day. Thank you Mike!

Thank you as well for the helpful tips for future travelers visiting during the high-water season. The Falls can certainly provide an unforgettable soaking experience! We're especially pleased that Mike was able to assist with returning your jacket. We will be sure to pass along your kind words to him.

The Falls were amazing!! Our experience was elevated by a Morning Walk through a park awaking to the day and our guide’s incredible fund of knowledge. Mr Shelgon knew the patterns and ways of the Falls and helped us to get incredible views of the Falls while so many around us were complaining of only seeing mist. Well worth the cost!
Hi Thank you for your feedback and taking your time to review us. As Cuckoo Safaris, we strive to meet and exceed our guest expectations.
Excellent tour. Guide was punctual and informative. We were the first visitors when the Vic Falls park opened, and he paced us well to be at the best vantage places at the very best times to see the sunrise and also morning rainbows. He spoke of wildlife and was very respectful of such. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him at beautiful Victoria Falls. He was kind and spent more time than allotted, to make sure that our tour was great. Highly recommend!
Hi Thank you for stellar review and taking your time to give us your feedback, we look forward to your return
We had an amazing sunrise tour with Shelton!! No crowds, beautiful light... He also provided nice ponchos for us to borrow. Thank you!!
Hi Thank you for your feedback and taking your time to review us, we look forward to host you again.
I was picked up from the hotel on time, at the NP entrance we had to wait about 10 minutes until they had their equipment ready. Afterwards, great photos and explanations from guide PRUDENCE. It was great because there were hardly any tourists there shortly after 6 a.m. and great, relaxed photos could be taken at the 16 viewpoints.
Hi Thank you for your awesome review and taking your time to share your experience with us, as Cuckoo Safaris we strive to meet and exceed our guests expectations.
