Depends on mobility level
by: Tony

Hi

That obviously depends on how fit the 88 year old is. I think that many people older that 88 have visited the Falls before. The paths are well laid out and easy to follow, they are in good condition but they do get slippery in places because of the continuous spray from the Falls. They are mostly flat but there is a few places where there are slight undulations. If you are moderately mobile then I dont think you will have a problem.
You can hire wheelchairs.

Yes you can pay by card
by: Tony

Hi Anne

Yes you can pay by credit card but be aware that card machines do not always work so you should have a cash reserve just incase.

Do you mean a ticket that allows multiple entries, if so unfortunately not, its one entry if you exit the gates you have to pay full price again

The rand strengthening and pre-booking
by: Nomonde

I am aware that sadc citizens pay $14. Does this mean South Africans pay R163 in 2018, considering the strengthening of the rand against the dollar?

May one pre-book the entrance tickets?

Feb 27, 2018
SADC rates for Victoria Falls 2018
by: Tony

Hi Nomonde

The SADC rate has changed for 2018 it is now back to US$20. If you pay in Rand you will get stung by bad exchange rates currently at R360 which doesn't even make sense. They have promised me they will be changing this but I don't know when.

The only way to purchase in advance, is to book a guided tour of the Falls as an activity, which you can do through our website on any of the booking forms. This includes pick up and drop off from your hotel, a guided tour and entrance fees. Without that tour you will need to purchase tickets onsite which is also perfectly easy to do.

Hope that helps

Visit falls in late August (4th week of August 2017)

by Majid

Hi

Planning a trip to the Falls. The main purpose is to view the falls when it has a decent flow but not too much spray to limit visibility. Last week of August 2017 suits us but are flexible.

Would appreciate your guidance.

Thanks

Walking to the falls

Organised tour not essential
by: Tony

Hi Susan

You can very easily walk around the Falls on your own. There is good paths that naturally lead you to all the viewing points. There is an entrance gate at which you pay your entrance fee, there is also a shop and some informaton boards and a restaurant.

The advantage of a guided tour is that they collect and drop you off from your hotel and obviously the guide has an in depth knowledge of the Falls its formation and history which is relayed to you.

The advantage of doing it on your own is that you can do it at your own pace

If we go to the falls in the morning and again at night for full moon do we have to pay 2 entrance fees and 2 park fees?

Apr 06, 2016

by: Tony

Park fees and entrance fees are the same thing.

But your day entrance fee does not cover your night time full moon tour. So you do have to pay twice.

For internationals you will pay $30 during the day and $40 for the full moon tour total of $70 for both visits.

Falls at Full moon
by: Anonymous

Can you pick up a full moon tour at the gate or do you have to organize with a tour operator?
Can you go into the park by yourself at night to see the falls at full moon?
I assume you can go into the park by yourself during the day after you have paid your entrance fee?

Apr 20, 2016
Victoria Falls Full Moon tours information
by: Tony

You can join the full moon tour at the gate and just pay your entrance fee which is $40. You don't have to go with another tour operator who will charge you another $20 for their guide and for collecting and dropping you off at your hotel.
Being at night it is rather more dangerous than daytime so you are all lead by a national parks ranger. However the group normally gets pretty spread out as everyone views the Falls at a different pace but essentially you are guided and go on a certain route and you have to be at a certain point at a specified time.
During the day once you have paid your fee you can spend as long as you like in the park.

What to wear

I am planning to go along with friends to Vic falls in mid Feb 2016. I read that the spray can be very high and in Feb it will be very wet. Would it be appropriate to wear shorts and a T-shirt with sandles/flip flops/floaters. Alternatively , would it be better to wear tights and top and walking shoes.

While it may get wet , I would prefer to wear something which would not hurt the sentiments of the locals.

Also, is it recommended to carry a raincoat . I would prefer to enjoy the spray and mist while at the falls but when away from the falls would not like to get wet.

What shoes to wear at Victoria Falls
by: Tony

Hi There

It is unlikely that any locals will be offended, so you can wear whatever you think is most comfortable. The main thing is to have shoes that will not slip on the wet and slippery paths.

Raincoats - again are personal preference, they hire them outside the entrance gate and many people wear them while others prefer to feel the spray as I do. The weather is normally hot at that time of year so you dry out fairly quickly. They also supply towels to dry yourself at the rainforest cafe, if you stop to have a drink and some food there.

Victoria Falls Lunar Rainbow tour options
by: Tony

There are two options for the lunar rainbow tour.

1) You can either book through one of the tour operators. They will pick you up from your hotel take you to the rainforest escourt you around sort out your entrance etc and then at then take you back to your hotel at the end of the tour.

2) Or you can make your own way down to the rainforest entrance pay to get in and then join the tour that is guided by the National parks guide. All lunar tours are guided by National Parks guide.

Either way you have to pay a separate entrance fee for the lunar tour as opposed to your day time pass. You have to exit the Falls at 6pm and the re enter and pay again at about 7pm.

Pre booked with a tour operator, the lunar tour cost US$70 including national park fee. This would need to be booked in advance.

Just arriving at the rainforest and paying entrance fee will cost $40. This does not require pre booking just pitch up. You do need to have a vehicle to do this though as I would not recommend walking around Victoria Falls at night.

Entance Fees to Victoria falls
by: Tony

Entrance Fees are US$30 for internationals and US$20 for regional countries like South Africa.
Yes it is a single entry ticket if you exit the gate you will have to pay again.

It is for full access to the Falls. Although there is no where that you can go beneath the Falls. There is one place where you can climb down some steps and look at the Falls from a lower angle.

No you cannot buy a family pass but children under 12 pay half price.

No you cannot buy a multiple pass, but you can stay in the park for as long as you like in any one day, as long as you don't exit the gate

Yes you can pay in SA Rands but the exchange rate is not favorable. You will pay R160 instead of US$20.

Try to take US$ with you instead of Rand as paying for anything except the supermarket works out very expensive, many places will use an exchange rate of 10 to 1

first time visitor
by: zarina

i have been hearing alot of confusing stories regarding my family visit for the first time to zimbabwe.

i will be travelling from south africa via messina, please can you advise what i can encounter.

at the border what can i expect, costs?, checks?
what can i bring in what must i not since i am traveeling with my family and going to a self catering lodge?

also what will it cost me for a booze cruise for 3 adults 1 teen(17yrs) 1 child(11yrs), can i book with you? can i pre-book from south africa?

what about river rafting? for one adult and 1 teen? we get there friday 24th and leave wednesday 29th december 2010? which day and what time is best,the cost and pre-booking option?

also i have 2 nights available at the lokhutulu lodge vic falls that i want to sell, do u know if i can get it sold, it is a six sleeper for the wednesday 29th and thursday 30th december, it is at a very reasonable rate compared to what the lodge charges per night.

is the prices of food like bread milk and fresh produce like south africa or is it more exopensive?

thanks much i appreactiate it for all the other replies that was prompt and concise, it helped me alot alreasdy

Answers to questions
by: Tony

Hi Zarina

Regarding the border - my advice would be to avoid Bietbridge at all costs at that time of year, it is an incredibly busy border and you will be delayed for a long time.
I would go via Botswana through martins drift via Francistown and then Kasane. It will cost you about P160 to enter Botswana but this is well worth it as these border posts are much more pleasant.
When travelling back ie going south it is not to bad.
I will send you a copy of our downloadable guide if you send me you email address and this will answer many of your questions regarding border costs, allowances etc.

Regarding the activities, go onto our activities page on our website, https://www.victoriafalls-guide.net/victoria-falls-activities.html
I hope that this will give you the information that you are looking for. You will also find a price list of all the activities you can do. You can easily pre book and pay for everything before you go, you just need to send us a booking enquiry form and we will arrange everything for you, and it wont cost you any more than if you do it when you get there and you can pay directly into and SA bank account. Vic Falls is incredibly busy over xmas and new year and I would definitely recommend pre booking activities as they will almost certainly be fully booked if you leave it till the last moment.

Vic Falls accommodation is 100% fully booked over this period so if you send us more details regarding lokuthula I am sure that we will have someone who would like to use it.

On the whole grocery prices are slightly more expensive than SA about 10 to 20% but it depends on the product. A loaf of bread will cost you between R6 and R7 and a cokes and beers about the same, so no point in taking those, but wine will cost you a lot more than in SA. Quality of meat is not brilliant and the choice not great. Take what you can, but you will not go hungry as you can buy everything there.
I hope that helps

Victoria falls fees
by: Bonolo

Me and my partner and some friends are planning to come down to Victoria falls in December 2014. would you advise on which resort will be suitable for us and what the costs would be. and also advice on how to secure bookings as i know that time of the year most places are fully booked.

Answer:

Hi Bonolo

If there is a group of you by far the best value is to try to get into the self-catering units at Lokuthula or Rest camp. These do get booked up in December but you are planning quite far ahead so you might be lucky. Other than that there is a range of B&B's, small lodges and Hotels and it really depends on your budget your group size and your preferences. If you can contact us through our booking enquiry form with a few more details we will be able to help you get exactly the right place. Once we have found you the right place then you will need to pay a deposit to secure the booking. This can be done via credit card or bank transfer which ever is easiset for you

Look foward to hearing from you

Regards

Multiple activities at Falls
by: Anonymous

Where is the entry to the park? If I do three different things morning, afternoon and evening, could I have to pay $30 three times in a day?

Answer:
By Tony

The $30 entrance fee is to get into the see the Victoria Falls only. This is the only activity you can do on entering this gate. The other activities you are likely do be doing won't be through this gate.
You would need to tell me what other activities you are doing then I can tel you if there are any other park fees that you will need to pay. For instance a sunset cruise you have to pay a $10 park fee, a helicopter flight you pay a $12 park fee. Some other activities there are no park fees.

As has been posted numerous times on this thread.

SADAC/Regional $20
International $30

If you are from Botswana you will pay the SADAC rate of $20

If you go on a guided tour of the falls then you need to add the cost of the tour which is about $22. This is maybe why you have heard people saying it is $50. But the tour is not compulsory and has to be prebooked with one of the tour operators or ourselves. Booking enquiry form

It's a downloadable guide only
by: Tony

Hi Bridget

Thank you for your enquiry. Our guide is a downloadable guide, it is not available in hard copy in any shops here. The reason for this being is that we can then keep it completely updated with any changes that happen in and around the Falls and therefore the copy you download you know is acurate instead of an outdated book. It also means that you can do a little research before you get here and plan all the things you want to do.

Entry fees into the Falls
by: Tony

Entry fees are;

US$ 20 for foreign nationals
US$ 15 for SADAC country states
US$ 5 for local Zimbabweans

Passports are required to prove nationality. This is a one time entrance, you have to pay again if you exit and enter later in the day.

A guided tour costs US$ 36 this includes the entrance fee and pickup and drop off from your local hotel. Which is quite nice when it gets really hot.

Only one entry

Hi Joey

You entrance fee is only valid for one entry. If you exit the gate you have to pay again to re-enter.
It is also a separate entrance fee for both sides. You buy entrance in Zambia and entrance fee in Zimbabwe.
