Victoria Falls questions answered

Hi Ben

Firstly September is a great time of year. By the first day I am presuming you mean the first full day. You can easily do both the Zimbabwean and Zambian sides in this time. I would really suggest if you are going to Zambia to do the Livingstone island tour, this gives you a very unique vantage point of the Falls from the very lip of the Falls, it is here that you can do the Devils swim aswell if you so wish (but don't have to).

So I would go across to Zambia and do the 9am Livingstone island tour (rainbows are great at this time from this angle), then make your way back to the Zambian entance gate (an easy walk) and view the Falls from the Zambian side(+/-2hrs).
Then make your way back to Zimbabwe, you can eaither walk or take taxis. You might want to stop off at the Bridge cafe on the Victoria Falls bridge where they do a great lunch and from there you have a good viewpoint to watch the bungee jumpers jump off the Victoria Falls bridge.
Then re-enter Zimbabwe and view the falls from the Zimbabwean side, it is best to see these at between 2pm and 4pm. If you didn't have lunch at the birdge cafe there is also a very good restaurant in the Rainforest on the Zimbabwean side.
Canoeing is a good option for your second full day and will be great at that time of year, very worthwhile doing.
You still have available the afternoon that you arrive to do a sunset cruise on the Zambezi if you wish and also on the final morning on the day you leave before your flight, you can do another activity if you wish, like a helicopter flight or an elephant back safari. the more activities you book and do the cheaper they become.

I have emailed you separately with the list of the accommodation and activities available. Please don't hestate to contact us if you want us to book and arrange an itinerary for you, to ensure that you maximise your time there in the most cost effective way.

Best wishes Tony
