Victoria Falls -
Getting There & Away

Victoria Falls is one of Africa's top tourist destinations, with several hundred thousand travellers visiting this natural wonder each year. Vic Falls is geared towards tourism and continuing to develop as tourist numbers are projected to soar to more than a million over the next decade. Vic Falls is easily accessible with good connecting routes by road, rail and air.

There are two main options for flying to Victoria Falls - Livingstone Airport (Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport) in Zambia, or the Victoria Falls Airport in Zimbabwe. These international airports are serviced by several international flights per day, connecting Vic Falls with a few destinations like Windhoek, Cape Town, Harare and Johannesburg.

The Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport in Zambia lies some 16km from the Victoria Falls waterfall (15 minute drive). The Victoria Falls Airport (VFA) lies some 18 km south of Victoria Falls town (about a 25 minute drive) in Zimbabwe. Within Zimbabwe there are daily flights between Victoria Falls and Harare (Zimbabwe). Within southern Africa there are several flights a week between Victoria Falls and Windhoek (Namibia), via Maun (Botswana) and between Livingstone and Lusaka (Zambia). There are also direct flights from Johannesburg (South Africa) to Victoria Falls Airport and Livingstone Airport, and from Cape Town via Johannesburg, Maun or Windhoek.

Flying to Livingstone (Zambia) is sometimes cheaper than flying to Victoria Falls Airport (Zimbabwe), but staying on the Zambian side is often more expensive in terms of accommodation and activities. You can fly into Zimbabwe and then cross the border into Zambia for your stay, this will however involve extra transfer costs and visa expenses, as well as adding to your travel time. Some nationalities don't need visas for travel to either country, such as South African passport holders; which reduces the extra costs. When crossing to Zambia from Zimbabwe all travellers need a yellow fever vaccination (about R500). The transfer will cost you extra and the border formalities can take half a day (depending on the season), which eats into your leisure time.

There are trains running from Botswana to Victoria Falls, travelling from Gaborone via Bulawayo. Rail is an affordable option, costing about USD10 for a first class ticket overnight from Bulawayo to Victoria Falls. Trains run from Johannesburg to Vic Falls, one of which is the luxurious Rovos Rail and the other is the Shongololo Express taking a longer trip (over two weeks) via several travel destinations. If you're up for an epic journey and looking to keep the budget as low as possible, then you can catch a bus from Johannesburg to Harare or Bulawayo and transfer to another bus to get from either Botswana city to Victoria Falls. There are private transfers running between Livingstone and Kasane in Botswana, which will cost in the region of USD50 per person one way. You can catch international and domestic flights to Kasane Airport and it takes about an hour from there to Vic Falls by road, excluding border formalities and the Kazengula Ferry crossing. Daily buses run from Livingstone to Lusaka and there are also trains connecting the two Zambian destinations, as well as daily flights. You can also catch a luxury bus to Victoria Falls from Windhoek in Namibia.

Day passes are available from both Zambia and Zimbabwe, which means you can cross over to the opposite side, obtaining a permit at the border posts. The permit costs between USD45 to USD80 per trip, but be sure to check before your trip as the cost fluctuates. When staying in Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) several lodges are located within walking distance of Vic Falls so it's easier and cheaper from this side. On the Zambian side, you need to take a taxi (about USD10) or shuttle service to reach Vic Falls waterfall, as Livingstone lies about 11km north of the waterfall. Most hotels and lodges offer shuttle services to Vic Falls, some of them free of charge.
