Perguntas frequentes

What is the KAZA Univisa?+
The KAZA Univisa is a single $50 visa that covers both Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is available to citizens of most nationalities and allows free movement between both countries, enabling you to visit the falls from both sides, do day trips into Botswana, and explore both countries without additional visa costs.
Which side of Victoria Falls is better?+
Both sides have their merits. Zimbabwe's Lookout Café and the main falls view path give the most photogenic panoramas. Zambia's "Knife Edge" walkway puts you incredibly close to the spray, and Devil's Pool (seasonal) lets you swim on the edge in September-December. The ideal visit includes both sides via the KAZA Univisa.
