- 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.

I took this tour in August as a solo female traveller and really enjoyed. Thuba was a truly excellent guide, very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient in answering all my questions. I learned so much from him and he took very good care of us. On the Zambia side, Delphinster also did a great job, accompanying us through the border, which would have been quite intimidating without her. She was always happy to take our photos and answer any questions we had. Overall, I would recommend this tour especially with guides Thuba and Delphinster.
We had an amazing time on this tour! The views on both sides were breathtaking and I highly recommend this tour for a full experience of the falls. We started on the Zimbabwean side in the afternoon and it worked really well. On the Zimbabwe side it felt like we could really feel the power of the falls, while we hit the Zambian side around sunset and the views were indescribable. The guides on both sides were knowledgeable and friendly, made the border crossings very smooth. Thuba, our Zimbabwean guide was so funny and quick to help with all the photos! He even gave us a great dinner recommendation and arranged our pickup from there to our lodging. All around, a great tour and worth the time and money!
Amazing experience! Our guides Thuba and Delphister were great and taught us so much about the falls, both nature and culture. Strongly recommend!
Our tour guy in Zimbabwe, "Ceelo," went out of his way to take pictures for our tour group, same thing for our tour guide in Zambia, "Dell." Beautiful overall experience, but be aware of two fees that you will have to pay. On the Zimbabwe side, there was an onsite fee of $116 USD and on the Zambia side, there was an onsite fee of $25 USD. When immigrating from Zimbabwe to Zambia, have your passport ready because you will have to show it several times. The immigration transfer from Zambia to Zimbabwe took a little longer, so just be prepared.
