Visiting Victoria Falls is a “must” for many travellers to Africa, with this natural attraction offering a whole host of adventure activities and outdoor pursuits in its surroundings. But deciding which country to view it from can be tricky, with both sides having their appeal.
If you’re visiting from the Zambian side, you’ll enter through Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, which is more affordable at 20 USD for international visitors. It offers a more untamed experience but gets you right up close to the gushing waters. Highlights of the Zambian side include crossing the Knife’s Edge Bridge to view the Eastern Cataract and descending deep into the gorge along the Boiling Pot Trail. It’s also here that you’ll find Livingstone Island and the Devil’s Pool for a unique perspective on Victoria Falls.
In summary, the Zimbabwean side offers longer trails, more viewpoints and a more expansive view of the falls while Zambia offers unforgettable, up-close experiences. If you’re on a tight budget, then visiting from the Zambia side is the clear choice at less than half the cost of viewing from the Zimbabwe side.
