What people love about Victoria Falls Tours
- Explore Southern Africa
Our guide, cook and driver were the best part of the trip. They were very friendly and looked after the whole group. You get to see so many amazing animals. The Okavango Delta was a once in a life time experience.
- Explore Southern Africa
Excellent trip. Very knowledgeable guide, the cook Kevin prepared special food for me since I don’t eat red meat or pork and the driver Shimoni has an eagle eye for spotting animals. Lots of early starts and long drives, setting up and breaking down tents, but as they say, “TIA” (this is Africa). Truly a trip of a lifetime!

Travel Victoria Falls your way
Explore a wide diversity of safari tours through Victoria Falls. We have 23 adventures that vary from 4 days to 17 days. With the greatest number of departures in February, this is also the most popular time of the year.
See all Safari toursThe popular 8-day safari lets you see Victoria Falls from both Zambia and Zimbabwe, which makes perfect sense since Zimbabwe has 75% of the viewing spots through actual rainforest paths while Zambia gets you right up close to feel the spray. You'll roll through three countries - adding Botswana to the mix with game drives in Chobe National Park where the elephant herds are just incredible. Our travelers keep telling us about guides like Mark, Fines and Peace who really make the experience special. Some tours swap Zambezi Park for Hwange depending on the season, which actually gives you more time for extra activities. The local culture runs deep too - you'll explore museums, historical spots and eat at regular Zambian cafes instead of tourist traps.

"Really beat my expectations of what I originally thought the camping was going to be. Tents and equipment were good and the crew on the tour were fab! The food was unbelievable! Not what I was expecting. Trips / days were well organised and everyone was helpful. I would recommend adding a few must to the list interms of headtorch was a must, used every night. Currency, defiantly take pula and USD I had to use the ATM at times which wasnt what I wanted. Zimbabwe boarder crossing is more expensive for Brits $55 they prefer cash. Overall the whole experience was ace, the overland truck and crew were are on the road family! Would recommend this tour. 10 days camping was plenty for me though outing tents up and down. Great experience!!

"We just completed our Safari in Zambia Botswana and Zimbabwe… it far exceeded our expectations mostly because our tour guide Rachel was outstanding, knowledgeable and very helpful and Lucky our driver was exceptionally patient and both of these young people made our trip unbelievably fun! We also loved the game drives and stops at local villages… absolutely LOVED this trip and will definitely return to Zambia for a repeat trip!

Discover Victoria Falls tours for every budget
Victoria Falls has some really solid budget-friendly packages that pack a lot into 3-4 days. You'll get the main experiences - guided walks at the falls, evening cruises on the Zambezi and nice accommodation that puts you close to everything. Our customers love combining Victoria Falls with Chobe National Park; the morning starts with waterfall exploration before heading to Botswana for afternoon wildlife viewing on game drives and river safaris. The guides make these tours special, particularly Griffith and Fungayi who our travelers mention by name. One practical option covers both Zimbabwe and Zambia sides of the falls plus a dinner cruise, while another focuses on activities like white water rafting and bungee jumping for those seeking some adrenaline.
The premium tours take everything up a notch with some really special touches. Picture having dinner while cruising above the falls in custom jet boats, with your own chef preparing four courses as wildlife wanders the shoreline. These tours often include stays at exclusive spots like Mdluli Safari Lodge, where luxury tents look out over Kruger National Park, and also the Royal Livingstone Hotel in Zambia. One particularly good package mixes helicopter rides over the falls with unique experiences like walking with lions at Mukani Village and taking a dip in Devil's Pool. Our guests particularly appreciate the fine details - private transfers, sunset drinks served on ancient kopjes overlooking the bush. Many luxury itineraries run 10-14 days, connecting Victoria Falls with high-end safari experiences in Kruger, Chobe and also the Okavango Delta.

Top Victoria Falls travel itineraries to fit your plans
The quick 3-day Victoria Falls tours work well for travelers short on time but keen to see the essentials. You'll walk the rainforest paths with local guides who really know their geology and history. Most people love the afternoon Zambezi cruises where you'll spot hippos, crocs and often elephants coming down to drink. A lot of our customers opt for the helicopter flight over the falls - it's about $175 extra and they consistently tell us it's money well spent for those amazing aerial views. There's usually time built in for craft market visits and extra activities like white water rafting or bungee jumping if you're up for it. The lodgings range from solid mid-range to luxury spots, with Shrub Lodge getting particularly good feedback for its peaceful location and great staff.

Our 7-day tours blend Victoria Falls with some excellent wildlife watching. Starting from Pretoria or Harare, these multi-country trips typically give you 2-3 full days at the falls before heading into Botswana's Chobe National Park. You'll do river cruises and game drives to see those massive elephant herds Chobe is famous for. Some routes include Matobo National Park in Zimbabwe, where you'll find Africa's highest concentration of both black and white rhinos. Our travelers really enjoy the variety - from guided walks tracking rhinos to relaxed sundowner cruises. Many tours include nice extras like visiting traditional villages, watching local drumming performances and taking dinner cruises above the falls while professional chefs prepare your meal.

Ten-day tours let you properly explore Southern Africa starting from Windhoek or Botswana. You'll combine Victoria Falls with quality time in the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park. The delta portions are special - you'll glide through waterways in traditional mokoro canoes with skilled local 'polers' getting you close to wildlife. We include unique experiences like sundowners on the vast Makgadikgadi salt pans, watching meerkats and walking with San bushmen. The pacing works well with 2-3 nights in each spot, giving proper time to experience places like Chobe where you can do both morning drives and afternoon river safaris.

Demographics
For couples, our premium safaris blend quiet moments with exploration. The private dinner cruises above Victoria Falls are something special - you drift past islands while your own chef prepares dinner right there on the boat. The luxury tented camps in Kruger and Chobe are perfect for two, with private decks for watching the sunset and falling asleep to night sounds in the bush. Taking a helicopter over the falls together is unforgettable, and sharing drinks on ancient kopjes as the day ends is pure magic. Our guests at Mdluli Safari Lodge love the thoughtful touches like outdoor showers and secluded pool areas that offer privacy with amazing views.
Young travelers go for our active tours that pack in wildlife and rapids. You might track rhinos on foot in Matobo National Park in the morning, then take on class V rapids on the Zambezi that afternoon. Lots of tours include nights camping in the Okavango Delta where you'll paddle mokoro canoes through channels full of hippos and sleep under African skies. The social side is great - everyone bonds over drinks after game drives and shares stories by the fire. You can also cycle through historic places like Soweto and spend time with local communities.
Our older travelers enjoy tours that balance authentic experiences with comfort. Many choose premium options at established places like Ilala or Shearwater, staying close to the falls but with air conditioning to retreat to. The game drive vehicles are specially built for good viewing and easy access, while river cruises offer a gentler way to see wildlife. Having guides who really know their history, culture and wildlife makes all the difference. Several tours mix in village visits and museum tours, so you get the full picture beyond just seeing the falls.
Victoria Falls works really well for families - you'll find safari lodges that hit that sweet spot between comfort and real wilderness experiences. At places like Ilala Lodge, kids can watch elephants and buffalo right from the pool while you relax. The local guides make walks fun for children by teaching them to spot animal tracks, sharing traditional plant uses and telling stories about the falls. Taking a river cruise for dinner lets everyone spot wildlife together from the deck. Many families love combining Victoria Falls with Chobe National Park, where the game drives are set up perfectly for getting close to elephants playing in the river and giraffes reaching for leaves in the trees.

Best time to visit Victoria Falls
- Spring 2025
Spring brings rising waters and that famous mist - there's a reason locals call it 'The Smoke that Thunders.' Our jet-boat dinner cruises really shine now; you'll weave between islands while our chefs work their magic in the galley. We've found combining Kruger and Victoria Falls works perfectly in spring's mild weather. Many guests go for helicopter rides this season since the increasing spray creates these incredible rainbows throughout the gorge.

- Summer 2025
Summer shows off the falls at full power, with spray you can spot from miles away. Our multi-country safaris adapt well to this intense season. The Zimbabwe side gives you 16 different viewing spots through the rain forest, and our guides time the visits just right for photos. When the mist gets intense, we mix in cultural visits to local villages and homestays in Limpopo, giving you a nice break from the constant moisture.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
Autumn sees water levels dropping, and we've crafted tours that blend wildlife and falls viewing beautifully. Our travelers often pick packages with walking safaris in Matobo National Park to track rhinos before seeing the falls. The Black Mambas anti-poaching unit tours really connect with guests - you'll learn directly from this all-female ranger team. We also run tours combining mokoro canoe trips in the Okavango Delta with falls visits, taking advantage of pleasant temperatures and good wildlife viewing. From what our safari travelers tell us, Lochinvar Safaris really shines with their personal touch. Their guides Mark, Brown, Maggie and also Fines consistently make each trip special - they know exactly how to handle the occasional power cuts you might face in Zambia, and they're quick to sort out comfortable backup plans. Over at Across Africa Tours, Hilmar and Kim get lots of praise for their deep knowledge of Kruger and Victoria Falls. They really help travelers understand the wildlife, geography and also local culture. That said, we've heard from some guests that the company could improve their planning and how they keep in touch before the trip. These tour companies show two different sides of African safari operations - Lochinvar manages the practical challenges well and puts their guests first, while Across Africa has excellent guides but needs to work on their behind-the-scenes organization. When you're looking at safaris in this region, it's worth knowing these differences since they can affect your experience quite a bit. The guides make a real difference on these trips - they're the ones who spot that leopard in the distance, explain how the ecosystem works and also help sort things out when plans need adjusting. Both companies have skilled guides, but they operate quite differently in terms of overall service delivery.

- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter makes everything click at Victoria Falls. Our 8-day safari packages let you see the falls clearly plus catch amazing wildlife in Chobe National Park. The drier months mean elephants gather at the river - you'll spot whole herds swimming across during our evening cruises. The falls run lighter this season, so you can explore more viewpoints without getting drenched. It's also when you can swim in Devil's Pool right at the falls' edge, which our travelers say gives them quite the story to tell back home.
