Design My Perfect SafariEverything you need to know about planning your short safari adventure
For a comprehensive Victoria Falls experience, we recommend 2-3 days. This allows time for a guided Falls walk, sunset cruise, optional helicopter flight, and a day trip to Chobe National Park in Botswana. However, if you're short on time, our 1-day tours offer an excellent introduction to the Falls and surrounding activities.
The best day tour depends on your interests. Our Victoria Falls Signature Day combines a guided Falls walk and sunset cruise - perfect for first-time visitors. For adventure seekers, the Victoria Falls Adventure Combo adds helicopter flight and zipline. For wildlife lovers, the Chobe Day Trip offers game drives and river cruises in Botswana's premier wildlife destination.
Yes! Our Chobe Day Trip is a full-day experience that combines Victoria Falls with Botswana's Chobe National Park. The tour includes a morning game drive, lunch, and an afternoon boat cruise on the Chobe River. You'll see elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and diverse birdlife. Border crossing logistics are handled by our experienced guides.
Most short tours include hotel transfers, professional guides, and specified activities (Falls walk, cruises, etc.). Meals vary by tour - some include lunch, others include dinner. Optional add-ons like helicopter flights, Boma dinner, or adventure activities can be added. Important: National Park entry fees ($50 USD for international visitors in Zimbabwe, $20 USD in Zambia) are almost never included in the tour price and must be paid in cash at the gate. Check individual tour pages for specific inclusions.
For tours in Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls town), visa requirements depend on your nationality. Zimbabwe has three categories: Category A (no visa required, includes South Africa, Botswana, Namibia), Category B (visa on arrival or pre-application online), and Category C (visa required before travel). As of April 2025, Zimbabwe introduced an online visa application system. Zimbabwe visa fees (Category B): Single Entry $30 USD, Double Entry $45 USD, Multiple Entry $55 USD. Special rates: British/Irish pay $55/$70/$90; Canadians pay $75 (single only); Chinese pay $60/$90. For Zambia: Many nationalities (including UK, Canada, US, Australia) don't require visas. Day Tripper visa is $10 USD, Single Entry $25 USD, Double Entry $40 USD. For Botswana: Requirements vary by nationality. Highly recommended: The KAZA UniVisa ($50 USD) allows multiple entries between Zimbabwe and Zambia over 30 days and covers day trips to Botswana—it's excellent value if visiting both countries. Important: If you overnight in Botswana, the KAZA visa becomes invalid. We recommend checking visa requirements with your embassy before traveling. Our team can provide guidance on visa procedures and assist with border crossings. Also note: National Park entry fees ($50 USD for international visitors in Zimbabwe, $20 USD in Zambia) are almost never included in tour prices and must be paid in cash at the gate.
