Zambia Travel Forum

I'm going to land in Livingstone on my way to a lodge in Chobe (Botswana). The travel agent arranged for someone to pick me up and transport me. She suggested that I might want to venture into Zimbabwe to see the falls. The visa will cost somewhere between $50 and $100 I think. I'm not knocked out about going into Zimbabe, and money is money.

Can I get a good view of the falls from Zambia, or will I be missing the opportunity of a lifetime by not going into Zimbabwe?

Thanks

You should get a fantastic view of the falls from the Zambian side. I flew into Livingstone and didn't bother going over into Zimbabwe, there was just no need.

I preferred the view from Zambia side. I remember leaning over and putting my hand in the water and feeling the force of the water as it powered over the edge. And the most important thing is that Zambian beer is nicer than Zim beer unless things have changed since 1992.

Thanks to the both of you. In your honor, I'll pick a local conservationist charity when I'm there and donate the money I would have spent on visas.

Thanks again.
