personal sunset cruise for family of 10

Hi there

There are 10 of us coming to Vic Falls at the end of this month. Is it possible to organise/charter a private sunset cruise? If so, could it include dinner or just sundowners and what would the price be?

Thanks and regards

Victoria Falls and area in April

I will be in South Africa in April and am considering extending my trip to other areas in Southern Africa. I was thinking of spending a few days in Victoria Falls and possibly other areas as well like Chobe. I understand the water level is an issue at that time and there are certain things I won't be able to access. In 3 or 4 days in April, what would you recommend I do? I like to see as much as possible by foot and am into adventurous activities, but would definitely not want to miss anything great that must be traveled by car, boat, etc. Thanks!

Flow rate of Victoria Falls

by Udi

We've heard that the 2016 winter was a dry season. What is the affect on the falls? Shall we come this year or next, in respect to the water level and quantity in the falls.

drought?

Hi--My husband and I lived in Zambia in 1967-68. With petrol rationing, we weren't able to get out of Lusaka much and see the rest of the country then, but we did get to Victoria Falls in April 1968, when the river was at full flood, and it's one of my best memories ever!

We're going to visit again May 14, staying at the Royal Livingstone, and have been trying to figure out how best to see the Zimbabwe side, do the rain forest walk again, etc. We've just read a New York Times article saying that Zambia is having a severe drought, and the rains have been very late and too little; photos included show the Zambezi with very little water in it.

We've signed up for the PM train bridge/dinner run for the 14th, and I asked in email about the guided walking tour they offer for earlier in the day and was told there's so much spray at this time of year you can't actually see the falls on the Zim side and we should probably just stick to the Zam side. I see that their office is in Johannesburg, whereas you are right at the falls. Which is true--is the river in full flood or have climate change and "an El Niño weather pattern that has brought the worst drought in decades to parts of Africa" reduced it to a trickle?

Either way, we still want to see both sides of the falls--and since we won't have a car we will need to arrange at least transport to your side (we understand that the Royal Livingstone is inside the park on the Zambian side). My husband emailed the hotel asking about seeing the Zimbabwe side and heard back from a safari company, but their website (unlike yours) has many non-working links, and we gave up trying to deduce what to do in it. Help me, Obi-Wan! What is the river doing? How should we see it? Do you advise guided tour(s) or just transfer? Sorry to be so wordy!

What is the prospects of a normal water flow at the falls for May 2016 .. is it currently Feb 2016 lower than normal

Excessive High Prices for Activities?

by Sonia
(South Africa)

Why are activities so high? It seems that all operators have fixed a price and there is no free market on pricing. Insuring the highest possible price. I effect pricing is higher than 4-5 star accomodation. Is there no one prepared to give half decent pricing and break the price fixing? The highest bungee jump in the world is half the price. It doesn't make any sense. To hike - with your own two feet.......USD65.00???
Can someone advise why prices are so excessive?

Activities - Victoria Falls

by Linda Icely
(Johannesburg)

My daughter and I are visiting Vic Falls, unfortunately for only 3 days. I have to decide on activities and need some clarity.

The time of year will determine the amount of water in the Zambezi, thus is the beginning of July a good time to do white water rafting? What is the difference between white water rafting - high water and low water? I want an adrenalin kick with the rafting, which means rapids etc.

If water isn't good for white water rafting, would you recommend full day upper Zambezi canoeing? Is this quite tame and peaceful or is there a component of 'adrenalin kick' in this?

Is it possible to walk on the bridge (and underneath) without 'supervision' ie without being on a tour/guided?

Is it possible to view the Falls on one's own ie without being on a tour/guided?

Are the prices for activities the same if I pre-book before I get to Vic Falls, compared to when I'm already there? In both instances, which ever option is the most economical, I will be paying with a credit card in Rands.

I do apologies for all the questions but time and finances have to be carefully considered.
Kind regards,
Linda Icely

VICTORIA FALLS TRAM ACTIVITY

by Maria
(SA)

Hi, we are going to Vic Falls in a few weeks and going to do the tram trip and is it "wheel chair friendly". My husband is using a mobility scooter/shoprider to get along, because he can't walk far and I mean not far. Are there a lot of walking for this activity and if so, will he be able to take his scooter on the tram or are there other options available.

Vic Falls nature sanctuary Visit

by Nancy
(Dallas, Tx)

Is it possible to visit the sanctuary? We have free afternoon in Victoria Falls and would love to go. Prices hours open?
Thanks so much!

Hi Nancy

Yes it is possible to visit the sanctuary and by this I am presuming you mean the Spencers Creek Nature Sanctuary, which is the crocodile farm.

Tours can be arranged that collect you and drop you from your hotel and give you a guided tour around the farm. These cost $25 per person, it is best to go around the feeding time which is 10.15 to 10.30am or 15.45 to 16.00pm. The farm is open from 8am to 5pm daily. I would just like to point out that "Nature sanctuary" might be a slightly misleading term. It is a good crocodlile farm if crocodiles are what you want to see, but don't go there to see any other animals.

If you want to book this or need any help with other activities, please send us an email to info@victoriafalls-guide.net

Regards Tony

Is there good hiking near Victoria Falls?

by Caroline
(Johannesburg)

Hi. My partner and I are thinking about a one week trip to Victoria Falls at the end of March. We like to be active on our holidays - we're not really into extreme sports, but we love to hike, cycle, kayak, etc. I've seen the cycle tour on your site, which looks great, and I know we can do kayak tours (though they get pretty expensive for multi-day tours). Do you have recommendations for what else we can do in the area to fill up our week, with an emphasis on being active? Hiking is ideal, but other ideas are welcome. We're less interested in sitting still on boats, or in safaris (we live in South Africa, so get plenty of that here.) Thanks so much!

Ultralight Flights Victoria Falls

by William
(UK)

I am very interested in photographing the Falls from an Ultralight (not a Microlight in which you can not take a camera). I understand that Ultralight flights over the Falls were suspended 16th June 2007 by the CAAZ. Can you please confirm that they are still suspended. If they are can you say if there are any light aircraft available in which the window can be opened to take photographs. (Trying to avoid helicopters as I might be placed in the middle.)

bungy jumping

How 2 fit everything in less than 2 days?

by David
(Malta)

We will be in Vic Falls in April 2011. We arrive on 20th Apr in Livingstone airport at 11.45. Does this itinerary make sense?

Day 1 - at around 14.00/15.00 visit falls (no guide) and later do the sunset tour.

Day 2 - Helicopter tour - what time is best for this? How much time does it actually take apart from the 15 min ride? Is there normally a long queue? And is it walkable from the Amadeus Garden Lodge?
Market - we are very much interested in buying souveniers (lots). What time of day is best to visit and is it far away? We read that we should bring clothes to trade. Is this true?
Cultural village - we would like to visit a local village. How long does this normally take and at what time is the tour?

Are these 3 doable in 1 day? We were also considering the walk with lions but we don't think we have time.

Thanks
David

Walk with Lions

by Fred
(New York)

I can arrange for this tour privately or thru my group tour. I am concerned that the group which can involve 20 people will be paired with one group of cubs. Is this correct or is the group split up into several smaller groups. All of the individuals will go at the same time to the facility.
