Victoria Falls Zimbabwe and Zambia Expert Guided Tour
Description
See Victoria Falls from both Zimbabwe and Zambia on one guided experience. This tour gives you access to viewpoints on each side of the Zambezi River, allowing you to follow the falls across the gorge and understand how the landscape, water flow, and viewing angles change from one country to the other. Start on the Zimbabwe side, where you walk through Victoria Falls National Park and stop at several viewpoints directly facing the main curtain of water. Continue to the historic bridge that connects Zimbabwe and Zambia and cross into Zambia for a second perspective from Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park. On the Zambian side, paths take you closer to the river and along Knife-Edge Bridge, where you look into the gorge and watch the river disappear over the edge. Your guide shares information about the waterfall, the river system, and the history of the border. This is the best way to experience Victoria Falls in one day without choosing between the two sides

It is a LONG day. A lot of walking and waiting at Immigration to cross borders. But our guide Phila was amazing. Knowledgeable and friendly. She navigated our group through the process and connected us with helpful people. The falls were also amazing. When I was exhausted reaching the Zambia side I wondered if it was really worth it just to see more of the same waterfall...but as I was standing there water spraying all around me like I was in a rainstorm it felt so invigorating I was glad to have pushed myself for the full experience.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that, despite the long day and the border crossing process, you had such a memorable experience. We’re especially pleased that Phila’s knowledge, friendliness, and guidance helped make the journey smooth and enjoyable. It’s wonderful to know that reaching the Zambia side was worth the effort and that experiencing the spray of the falls left such a lasting impression. Thank you for choosing to explore Victoria Falls with us. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!
The experience was awesome the entire itinerary and plans were super flexible and based on our interests and what we wanted to see.

Roland is an amazing guide. He spent all day with us without looking the clock. He patiently showed us all spots in both Zambia and Zimbabwe side of Victoria falls.

The guide was on time and very nice. He took you to both sides of the falls. It was supposed to be about 6 hours but ended after maybe 4.5? I wish we had some time to explore the fall independently. It would have also been nice to have a spot to stop for lunch or a coffee. It was unfortunate because once you leave the falls you have to pay again to go back on. I wish we had like another hour on each side of independent time to walk and appreciate the falls and read some of the signs
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback. I’m really glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found your guide punctual, friendly, and knowledgeable. We also appreciate your suggestions. If you had let us know that you wanted extra time to explore the falls independently or stop for coffee or lunch inside the park, we would have been more than happy to arrange that. We always try to be as flexible as possible and tailor the experience to our guests’ preferences whenever they communicate them to us. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and will help us encourage future guests to share their preferences with us during the tour so we can make their experience even more enjoyable.

What an amazing day spent exploring the falls. If you visit the falls you have to visit from both countries. Each has its unique experience. Vincent did a great job of pointing out the best views both have to offer. Vincent was a very personable guide who did a great all around job with the tour by providing excellent information about the falls, its history and the area around the falls. He also was excellent with helping me through the border crossing. I highly recommend anyone visiting the area get the Kaza Visa it will make all border crossings go so much smoother. The company also did a great job on transportation from my hotel to the falls and back again. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for the full Victoria Falls experience.
