by carolyn holmes
(sydney australia)

does anyone know how far it is from Livingston airport to Old Ursula Camp ( part of the Stanley and Livingston Hotel)Am I able to catch a cab all the way, or do I have to change cabs at the border? Also, is it closer to catch a cab from Livingston airport to Victoria airport and then catch a shuttle bus from there( which is supplied from the hotel)
How much should I offer the cab driver for either of these trips?
cheers

Transport to Livingstone

by Donné Roberts
(Port Elizabeth)

Hi there. What a delightful website - I so enjoyed reading your "story"!
We are flying to Victoria Falls on Sunday 24th October. We were lucky enough to get a very good package which is for three nights at the Elephant Hills Hotel and which includes airfares, hotel accommodation, two dinners, breakfasts and a sunset cruise. We have opted to also have a ride on an elephant. My sister-in-law who lives in Durban, is coming with us. She and my husband along with their other two siblings and their parents lived in Livinstone for many years when they were children and they want to go back and look at the house they lived in, the old picnic spots along the Zambezi where they used to swim etc. but we need to know how we can get from the hotel to Livingstone. Friends of ours have just been on the same package and they say we will be able to get a taxi from the Elephant Hills Hotel to the border - have our passports stamped then WALK across the bridge to the Zambian border - have our passports stamped there again - then probably try and get a tax from there to Livingstone town. Do you know if this is possible and what would the taxi's cost? Also what our friends say is will the Zim authorities happily stamp us into Zim again?! Apparently the taxi's all want $10 for a short trip. I would be so grateful if you could advise me what would be the best way of going about visiting Livingstone for a morning.
Many thanks and I look forward to your reply.
Kindest regards
Donné

P.S. Can I use my normal 15amp plug on my hairdryer in the hotel room or do they use other plugs?
Also how much does it cost to get in to see the Falls?
Lastly - we have bought US dollars - is that the best currency to pay with there ?? At the craft markets is one expected to barter?? Many thanks!

Kariba to Victoria Falls by Road

by Sue
(PMB)

I am visting Zim in September, and will be travelling by road. After a stay on a house boat, we want to travel to Vic Falls by road - but not via Bulawayo. I understand there is a back road. Can anyone help me?

As an alternative, the ferry trip - how rustic is it? I have people in my party who will not want to rough it.

Intercape Mainliner

by Conny
(Norway)

Is it right that the Intercape Mainliner to Windhoek (Namibia) only has a departure from the Zambian side? Staying on the Zimbabwe side, we have to buy a day visum, take a taxi to Livingstone from where the bus leaves straightly to Namibia, right?

I've got somewhat confused about the bus route schedule which some weeks ago announced Sunday depatures at 11:00 from Livingstone and 12:00 from Victoria Falls. Now, only the 11 o'clock is shown and the bus station is called Victoria Falls (Zambian side).

by Annemieke
(Australia)

Hello, If we want to take advantage of the cheaper flights into Livingston, how do we get to Victoria Falls airport where the tour company will pick us up from prior to starting a 21 day trip. We would also need to get back from Victoria Falls airport to Livingston airport.
My husband has a UK passport as well as an Australian passport and I have a Dutch passport as well as an Australian passport.

Are there taxis we can take and if so what would be an approximate cost and what cost for visas.

Many thanks for your help.

I have booked my trip to VicFalls-Capetown-Namibia for next January.Of course now I am planing what to do and looking to not pay it a fortune .
Some friends (but they go sometimes to region for hunting , and I am not a hunter) suggested me to contact the Ultimatelodge .I see that you propose to use other activity company , so therefore I am asking you to give me some advise .
Pls find below email I sent to them and I will apprieciate if you can give me some advise to what really to do In January and what not and eventualy along with my contact who else can offer me a safe and not crazy expensive service.
I thank you again .

Rgds Giancarlo

This is the email sent:

Hallo Russ

So in aprox 2 Months we will come to visit your wonderfull country.

As fanatic readers of Wilbur Smith me and my wife we are looking forward to visit part of magic Matabeleland.

At the end we will be just 2 people (me and my wife)

This will be the definitive programme:

Arriving at VFA on 10Th Jan at 13.10 with flight from JNB and leaving on 15th at 13.45

We will stay at Lokuthula Lodge for the whole time

I was looking in last days many opportunities of what to do and activity. Many nice things but due time and especcially ..money...not everything is possible.The world crisis has affected everybody in the world.

We would like to experience along the Falls (where is not needed to arrange any special tour) wildlife and also Matabele folk and history (for what possible near Victoria Falls)

As our common friend in Spain have highly recommended me to contact you , before to look for other more famous operators who offers services in VicFalls I would pls ask you to offer me a packages , suggesting may be what are not OK considering January weather.

Reading many review of travellers following are the things that most interest us:

- Helicopter flight over the falls

- Upper Zambesi canoeing

- Zambesi sunset and Dinner cruise

- Walking with Lions

- Zambesi National Park (if ok in this season....)

- Eventual night drive with bush dinner



But after this tourist activity would like to see and experience something of the magic Matabele folk ( I don’t know what possible to arrange on day tour near VicFalls and always staying just in Zimbabwe).

If you think that something else can be added (we don’t look for some crazy adventure as Rafting or BungiJump) pls propose it.

I hope that you can offer us something not so crazy expensive that can suitable our wishes.We are not Millioniare !!!

Waiting your offer and proposition.

Thks and Rgds

Airport Transfer and other questoins!

by Jason
(Qatar)

1. AIRPORT TRANSFERS

My wife and I are landing at Livingstone Airport and are staying in a hotel in Livingstone (David Livingstone Resort and Spa). What is the best way of getting there? Do we just flag a taxi outside of arrivals? Or should we book before hand. Also, how much would this transfer cost?

2. DAY TRIP TO ZIMBABWE

We want to have a little side-trip to Victoria Fall, Zimbabwe. Not just to see the falls from that side, but to also see a little bit of Livingstone's sister town. So from our hotel, do we flag down a Zambian taxi, drive to the border, then walk the bridge till we get to Zimbabe customs, pay the visa fee, flag a Zimbabwe taxi and drive into town. OR, can we walk the whole thing?

Thanks in advance for any help with this....

Car hire in Vic Falls

by Steve
(Durban, South Africa)

Hi guys

great site - lovely to see such passion about Zim and Vic Falls. My question is: can vehicles be hired for self-guided trips into the Zambezi Nat Park. As people who often visit game parks here in SA, we would prefer to do it ourselves - is this feasible at all ?

many thanks

Taxi to cross the border

by Alan Fowler
(Dallas, TX, USA)

Tony/Boo,

Great site - best I have found. I'm heading to Zambia (Lusaka) and want to make a stop at Victoria Falls. Due to the continuation to Lusaka, LVI is better than VFA; but I want to hotel in Victoria Falls. I've search your site (and others), but can't figure out if a taxi will take me across the border from LVI into Victoria Falls. Is this possible?
