If you’re staying in Kasane or based at a Chobe lodge, Victoria Falls is just 80km away, but that 80km crosses an international border, passes through a national park, and involves two immigration stops. Done independently, it’s a full morning of logistics. Done with us, it’s a straightforward 8-hour day that gets you to the falls, through the town, into the craft market, and back to your Kasane hotel without a single moment of stress.

Note that above is just a guideline but times can be flexible.
Your driver-guide signs you into the Victoria Falls National Park and accompanies you to the main viewpoints on the Zimbabwe side. The Zimbabwe side offers the broadest panoramic view of the full 1,708-metre width of the falls. You’ll see the main falls viewpoint, the boiling pot at the gorge bottom, and the Victoria Falls Bridge, linking Zimbabwe and Zambia, from above.
Important: The guided tour of the falls themselves is an additional cost, not included in the base price. Your driver-guide will arrange this for you at the gate (approximately $58/adult for park entry). This is the standard arrangement for this type of day trip.
Victoria Falls’ traditional craft market is one of the best places in Zimbabwe to buy authentic handmade items directly from the craftspeople who make them. Carved wooden animals, woven baskets, beaded jewellery, fabric, and stone carvings, all created locally, all negotiable. Your guide can help with negotiation if needed and advise on fair prices.
A short stop on the return journey to visit one of the region’s landmark baobab trees, an ancient, enormous specimen with significant local cultural and historical significance. Your guide shares the history and folklore associated with these iconic African trees.
The drive between Kasane and the Zimbabwe border passes through an unfenced wildlife corridor where elephant, buffalo, giraffe, and lion are regularly spotted from the vehicle. This is part of the KAZA Transfrontier Park, one of the world’s largest conservation areas, and wildlife moves freely across the region. Your driver knows the good spots and will stop for any notable sightings.
