Frequently Asked Questions

June to August offers the best balance of water flow and comfortable weather. September to December is best for activities like Devil’s Pool and for game viewing, while February to May shows the Falls at their most powerful. See our month-by-month Victoria Falls guide for the full breakdown.

May to October (dry season) offers the clearest skies and easiest travel conditions, and is the most popular window for photographing Sossusvlei and visiting Etosha. November to March brings warmer, greener landscapes with fewer visitors.

May to September (dry season) is best for game viewing, as wildlife concentrates around the permanent waterways and mokoro access is at its best.

Yes — this is one of our most popular routes. Kasane, Botswana is roughly a 1.5–2 hour transfer from Victoria Falls, and we regularly build combined itineraries that continue on into Namibia.

A day trip is the right call if you only have one spare day or a limited budget — you still get a river cruise and a game drive. A multi-day package is worth it if you want two full days of game viewing instead of a rushed half-day, or want to add the Okavango Delta, since that genuinely requires an overnight stay.

Our published packages are a fast, transparent starting point with real prices. A tailor-made itinerary through a direct enquiry is better if your dates, group size or interests don’t match a fixed package exactly — we build it around you at no extra cost to ask.

For peak season (July–October) we recommend booking 2–3 months ahead, especially for fly-in camps in the Okavango Delta. Day trips and transfers can often be arranged with much shorter notice.

Yes — every package on this site is a starting point. Tell us your interests, budget and dates and we’ll build something entirely custom.

Budget trips use camping or simple lodges and shared activities, typically $80–$150 per person per day. Mid-range trips use comfortable riverfront lodges with private game drives, around $250–$450 per day. Luxury trips add premium lodges and Okavango Delta or Namibia fly-in camps, from $450–$900+ per day.

A 60% deposit is required to confirm your booking, with the remaining balance due before travel — we’ll confirm the exact balance due date on your booking confirmation.

We accept bank transfer, credit/debit card, PayPal and cash on arrival for balances or day trips.

Tipping is entirely at your discretion. As a general guideline, we recommend around 10% for guides and drivers.

Typically the KAZA UniVisa (Zimbabwe/Zambia, with Botswana day access) plus a separate Namibia entry. Requirements vary by nationality.

A valid passport with at least 6 months’ validity. Most nationalities do not need a separate Botswana visa if they hold a KAZA UniVisa or standard Zimbabwe/Zambia visa — we’ll confirm your specific requirement when you book.

Kasane is roughly 80km from Victoria Falls, a 1.5–2 hour drive including the Kazungula border crossing between Zimbabwe and Botswana.

Both options are available on every route. Private transfers give you full flexibility on timing; shared transfers run on a more limited schedule at a lower cost.

Yes — all of our multi-day safari packages already include the relevant transfers. Standalone transfer bookings are also available for travelers who just need a lift.

Yes — this is a hosted visit, not a performance. Village residents choose to welcome visitors and are compensated for their time and hospitality; your guide introduces you properly and sets expectations on both sides so the visit feels like a genuine exchange, not an intrusion.

Yes at most lodges, restaurants and tour operators in Victoria Falls, Kasane and Windhoek, though a small surcharge sometimes applies. Carry cash for markets, tips, and smaller, more remote camps where card machines and connectivity can be unreliable.

Warm days and cool mornings/evenings year-round, with a dry season (roughly May–October) and a wetter, greener season (November–April). Pack breathable layers, a warm layer for early game drives, sturdy closed shoes, a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. A light rain jacket is worth packing in the wetter months, and waterproof gear if you're visiting the Falls during high water (February–May).

Victoria Falls, Chobe and the Okavango Delta are malaria areas, so we recommend consulting a travel clinic about anti-malarial medication before you travel, along with routine vaccinations. Requirements vary by nationality and by which countries you're arriving from, so check with your doctor or embassy well ahead of your trip.

We recommend sticking to bottled or filtered water throughout your trip, which is provided at all the lodges and camps we work with. It's a simple precaution rather than a serious risk.

Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia mostly use 220–240V with the South African/British-style Type D and Type M plugs (three round pins). Bring a universal adapter, and a small power bank is handy for charging on transfer days.

Most lodges and camps near Victoria Falls and Kasane have WiFi, though it can be slower than you're used to. Remote fly-in camps in the Okavango Delta often have limited or no signal — treat that as part of the experience rather than an inconvenience, and let us know if reliable connectivity is essential for your trip so we can factor it into your itinerary.

Drone use is tightly restricted or requires a permit in most of the parks and around the Falls themselves, and is prohibited in some areas entirely. If flying a drone matters to your trip, tell us before you book so we can confirm current rules for your specific route — don't assume it's allowed.

Yes — Victoria Falls, Kasane and the surrounding areas are well used to tourism and generally safe, with the same everyday common-sense precautions you'd take in any travel destination. Guided activities and transfers add an extra layer of local knowledge, especially around wildlife areas.

Occasionally, yes — elephants, warthogs and baboons are sometimes seen around the edges of town, and monkeys and baboons can be bold around unattended food. Your lodge or guide will brief you on local etiquette; it's a genuine part of the destination's charm rather than a daily occurrence to worry about.

English is widely spoken across Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia and is used throughout the tourism industry, alongside local languages such as Shona, Ndebele, Setswana and others.
