Transport from Harare to Victoria Falls

by Pearl
(Kwazulu Natal)

Would like to know if ther is any mode of transport to Victoria Falls besides the Pathfinder and flights

Car hire or walk?

We'll visit the Victoria Falls next year in November for a week.
My question: Is it essential to hire a car to explore the VF? I would prefer to explore it on foot. We are fascinated by the VF, so that I do not mind to spent the hole day there.


Thanks for your answer!

Travel between Maun and Victoria Falls

by KFinn
(USA)

I and a friend are planning to travel to Victoria Falls and the Okavango Delta from Upington, SA. I found an Intercape bus from Upington, stopping in Windhoek and then on to Victoria Falls. We will spend 3 days in Victoria Falls and then go to Maun for 3 days in the Okavango. We would then like to be in Jo'burg after these 6 days to do futher traveling in South Africa. It doesn't matter in what order we do Maun or Victoria Falls.

My question is would the minibus from Kasane to Maun be the best way for us to get back and forth? How long exactly does it take? For our trip to Jo'burg I was thinking to take the train to Bulawayo then take an Intercape bus the rest of the way. If we are in Maun and take a bus to Kasane then on to Victoria Falls could we make the train in the same day?

Is there any other means that I have overlooked to get from Upington direct to Maun that are inexpensive (a flight is out of our budget)?

Getting to hotel from Zimbabwe in Zambia

Plan on staying at the Victoria Falls Safari Club in 5/15. We want to spend a day at Mukuni Big 5 in Zambia. They do hotel pickups in Zambia but not into Vic Falls. What would be the best and most economical way to get there. Also, would you advise getting our day pass visa for Zambia ahead of time so as not to spend as much time crossing the border. I dont live all that far from the Zambian embassy.
Thanks for all your help and for this woderful web site

Is there more than one transfer shuttle a day from Vic Falls to Kasane?

Hi....

I was just curious about the transfers from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe to Kasane, Botswana. Do these shuttle operate every day of the week? Do they operate just once a day? What is the minimum number of people needed for the shuttle to operate?
Can I depend on a shuttle everyday or are there days when there aren't enough people?
What is the usual schedule for the Vic Falls, Zimbabwe to Kasane shuttle

Thank you!!

travelling between Bulawayo and Livingstone Zambia

by Donna Cino
(Canada)

Can you give me any information on the border crossing between Zim and Zam. I will be travelling with my 15 year old grand daughter. I have been told that it is an 11km walk between the two border posts and no one seems able to tell me if taxis are available between the 2. We will be travelling with a bit of luggage and don't feel comfortable walking the distance. Also, do you have any information on the train form Bulawayo to the Falls? Some say it's fun, others that it is terrible and to take Pathfinder bus. Again, travelling with my grand daughter do you think it best to take the bus, or could we have a great/fun experience on the train? I understand even in 1st class you have to go out of your compartment at night (with no lightning) to reach the washrooms and I worry about her.
Any light you can shed on these questions will help me tremendously, to make a decision!
Thanks so much for all the other great info!

VicFalls Rest Camp and bus transfer

May, 5, 2013

Dear Boo and Tony,
thank you for your wonderful website, all of your experience and your enthusiasm you share with us!
We are a German couple and we will make a Safari in Zambia in August. After that we wish to visit the Victoria Falls on our own. We already managed to book a chalet in Victoria Falls Rest Camp (thank you for the tip!), but tonight when we thought over it again, we noticed that we first have to answer some questions to be sure it will work.
We would like to ask you hoping you are willing and able to answer.
- We will travel by bus from Lusaka (where our safari ends) to Livingstone. Is it realistic to think you can leave Lusaka after breakfast and arrive in time at VicFalls Rest Camp before the night / before the border closes (does it? At what time?)?
- We wanted to leave Vic Falls on August 25, but noticed that this is a sunday! Will busses probably drive that day or not?
- The chalet at the Rest Camp is to be payed in US dollars. What about the shops or restaurants in town? What currency do they accept? Are banks closed on saturdays and sundays? Can you withdraw money with a credit card at a cash dispenser?

I hope my English is clear enough, I'm not used to write in English!
Thanks for reading and we would be very happy if you could help us with our questions!
God bless you,
Dagmar

Shortcut between Lupane and Kwekwe

by Shelley
(Zambia)

Hi Tony,

Your website is fantastic. We are Zimbabweans living in Zambia and planning a trip back to Zimbabwe soon. I see you posted a question about the shortcut between Lupane and Kwekwe but can't find if anyone came back to you? I am trying to find out if the road between the two is reasonable as we have to go to Kwekwe, entering Zim through Victoria Falls as we live in the southern part of Zambia. If the road Lupane to Kwekwe is not too terrible, it would save us going all the way to Bulawayo and then on to Kwekwe.

Many thanks for your time,

Shelley Wallace

Hi. We are visiting Vic Falls in July 2012 and have just been quoted R300 each (return) for return transfers from the airport to Lokuthula. This is for 4 adults and 2 children under 12. Your website gives a rate of approx R200 each return. Are you linked to Lokuthula? Do children travel for less? How do we go about booking and confirming travel with you?

Flights from Harare to Victoria Falls

I was going to fly from Harare to Victoria Falls but it seems impossible to book a flight right now. Is there another airline besides Air Zimbabwe that flys from HRE to VFA? I'm only staying for 2 nights so am trying to make the best of it by flying there rather than taking a car that takes 10 hours. If taking a car from HRE is the only option where can I see the timings and make bookings? I'll be arriving on the evening on the 4th of May and leave on the 6th evening.
Thank you for reading and hope to hear from you soon.

How can I get from Kariba to Vic Falls by boat

Hi Guys!
My name is Gareth, and I'm currently in Zim and want to travel to Kariba and go via boat to Vic Falls or one of the popular destination points close to it.

The details of me doing this have changed a few times recently so I've just started to check my options for doing this independently. Then I saw your information regarding the Kariba Ferry! it made my day.

I wondered when the ferry is sailing (I saw the dates for April on the website but one link said these may have been rescheduled and wanted to book a place.

It's a booking for one and I'm not travelling with a vehicle so hoped I would be able to get a place. Even for the 9th April departure?

I also wondered if I was unable to travel via the ferry, what other options there are for me to travel this course by boat?

Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Happy Easter
Gareth.

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....

Great site - best I have found. I'm heading to Zambia (Lusaka) and want to make a stop at 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?

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).

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!

(Hungary-Italy)

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

Best route from Beira, Mozambique, to Vic Falls

I couldn't find information on your site about traveling in from Mozambique. Normally we would enter Zimbabwe in Mutare. Google maps suggests a very direct route that is not a major highway.
