Heritage Spotted
What distinguishes this place
A landscape of the Zambezi
The river plunges into basalt gorges and produces a characteristic mist. The UNESCO file lists the falls as Mosi-oa-Tunya / Victoria Falls.
Two countries concerned
The property is shared between Zambia and Zimbabwe. This dimension does not mean that a visit ticket or entry permit automatically allows you to cross the border.

Preparation tips Azatour
Build a realistic visit
Select the base bank
Find the accommodation, airport or arrival station and the desired views. If you are planning a second bank, check the entry and return rules for your nationality, then add the transfers and the check time.
Distinguish observation and activities
A walk in the viewpoints should not be confused with an activity in the water or in the gorges. For a particular service, check operator, physical conditions, security, insurance and cancellation rules.
To be confirmed before booking
- Control each border crossing
- Provide protection against spraying
- Check activities and insurance separately
Search the current manager from the links in the official folder. Confirm schedules, rates, access and possible closures; these evolutionary elements are not presented here as guarantees.
Useful issues
Are falls only in Zambia?
No. The UNESCO property is cross-border and concerns Zambia and Zimbabwe.
How to integrate this visit into the budget of the stay?
