Is walking through the waterfall rainforest strenuous?
The paths through the rainforest to all the viewing points cover about 2.5 kilometres. Whilst there are a few steps, the paths are generally flat, and you can take a leisurely walk throughout the tour; there is no major fitness requirements. Comfortable walking shoes are essential, and you will get wet, so a poncho or raincoat is advisable. (Raincoats are available for hire at the gate, but most of the operators provide these.)
Is this a family-friendly tour?
Absolutely, family members of all ages should experience the mighty Victoria Falls, and children between 3 and 11 years generally pay 50% of the price. Infants under 3 years old are free of charge. The tour is safe, but children should be closely supervised to ensure they dont wander off the demarcated paths.
Do we have to pay entry fees to see Victoria Falls?
To enter and view Victoria Falls, there is a National Parks entry fee of US$50 pp for international guests.
Children pay 50%
It is optional for you to pay this yourself on entry to the rainforest, either with a bank card or cash; however, it is advisable to ask your agent to charge you upfront and pre-pay this on your behalf to save the hassle of the queue and payment process on entry.
What should I bring or wear for the Victoria Falls Day Trip?
It is essential to bring your passports.
- If you have children and have already entered Botswana you would have already provided birth certificates, bring them with you for reentry to Botswana.
- Comfortable walking shoes, with light, quick-dry clothes.
- Sun protection, Hat, Sunglasses and sunscreen.
- Camera, binoculars
- Waterproof bag to keep your electronics and travel documents.
- Whilst you can pay entry fees with a card, the card machine sometimes doesn’t work, so it’s always a good idea to have cash in US dollars and some small denominations for minor purchases and gratuities.
- Bring a warm jacket or jersey; early mornings and late afternoons can be a bit chilly.
Can I do other activities whilst i am on a Victoria Falls Day Trip?
Absolutely, you can upgrade to the Gold Package, which then includes a 13-minute Flight of the Angels helicopter flight over Victoria Falls or one of the bridge activities, such as a bungee jump, bridge swing or bridge slide.
- Please speak to your agent to discuss which other activities are feasible in the time period available.
- Additional activities are not included in this price.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes, this is very important, as this is a cross-border activity between 2 countries; the operator needs to arrange the correct size transfer vehicles to suit numbers and arrange pickups at your lodge etc. Pre-booking will ensure your place, a table at the lookout cafe, and beating the crowds in the queues.
