Victoria Falls Cross-Border Tour with Tonga Guide Thelma, Zimbabwe and Zambia

Thelma, a local guide who is Tonga, leads this cross-border outing and tells the falls through the traditions and daily life of her people as well as the usual history and legends. Hotel pickup and drop-off in Victoria Falls are included, along with bottled water and an air-conditioned vehicle. The walk begins in the rainforest on the Zimbabwean side. Stops include viewpoints over the falls, the Big Tree and the area around the Victoria Falls Bridge, with time for photographs. In the high-water season the spray reaches the paths and rainbows form in the mist. The group then crosses into Livingstone for a look at the historic town and views of the falls from the Zambian side, including the Knife-Edge views. Park fees are paid on site and are not in the price. The Zimbabwean side costs USD 58 for international visitors, USD 35 for regional visitors and USD 7 for locals with an identification card, so passports need to come along. The Zambian side is USD 20 per person at the gate. The tour runs about three hours, takes up to 30 travelers per booking, is wheelchair accessible and suits all fitness levels. Guiding is in English.
