Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the flight to Zambia?
It takes approximately 13 hours excluding stopover time to fly to Zambia. There are currently flights available from London Heathrow to Livingstone via Johannesburg with British Airways and South African Airways and via Nairobi with Kenya Airways.
Do I need a different visa to visit both sides of the Victoria Falls in Zambia and Zimbabwe?
You will pay various visa fees to travel across the Victoria Falls Bridge which links the two countries, however the most convenient option is to buy a KAZA Visa for $50. This is a single visa which allows you to visit both countries for up to 30 days. It also allows you to cross the Kazungula border from Zambia into Botswana – ideal if you are visiting Chobe National Park.

Expert Tips
“For the perfect platform to get up close to wildlife, take a boat cruise along the Zambezi River at sunset. Whether it’s a casual drink or a lazy mud bath, you’ll enjoy spotting the many birds, giraffes, elephants and hippos who visit the river at this time of day. Not to mention, the explosion of colours that fill the skies with Zambia’s incredible sunsets. ”
“If you want to stay right on the falls, book your stay at the luxury Royal Livingstone Hotel. Set right alongside the mighty Zambezi River, it’s only a 15 minute walk to the falls. Definitely take a canoeing safari either on the Upper Zambezi River or Lower Zambezi River. You’ll enjoy the beautiful scenery and spotting Zambia’s diverse wildlife along the way.”
