Bring travel documents for border crossings
You’ll cross from Zambia to Zimbabwe—carry passport, relevant visas and photocopies; allow extra time at border control.
Malaria and insect protection
Malaria prophylaxis is recommended and use DEET or picaridin; long sleeves at dusk reduce bites.
Timing for the falls
Visit viewpoints at sunrise or late afternoon for lower crowds and better light; high water season increases spray and can limit some access.
Boat cruise safety
Wear the provided lifejacket and follow crew instructions—river currents can be deceptively strong near rapids.
Light waterproof jacket
Protects against heavy spray at the falls and sudden rain in the wet season.
