Thanks for contacting us. I am not sure if you are intending to hire or borrow a vehicle while you are in Zim. At this stage there are still no scheduled flights to Kariba and although there are flights from Harare to Vic falls they are massively expensive. However you are planning well in advance and that is always a bit tricky with Zim as the situation could be a lot different by 2011. We hope and are confident a lot better!!!
Anyhow, if you can get a car, drive from Harare to Kariba 365kms, stopping at Chinyoi caves along the way. Then by far the best way to get to Vic Falls is by The Kariba ferry, a 24 hr trip across the length of the lake, they have just re opened this operation, having been closed for several years due to all of Zims problems. We will be putting up some information on the Ferry in the next couple of weeks.
You can take the car with you on the ferry and then drive from Milibizi (where the ferry docks) to Vic falls about 200kms.
If you like game viewing then I would suggest visiting Hwange as you will be so close. August is a great time of year for game viewing and weather. However it is Zim school holidays so you must make advanced bookings.
Kariba has some magical places to see but not sure of your interests, timing or budget. If you would like us to put an itinerary together for you let us know
Obviously Vic Falls is wonderful with so many things to see and do.
Let us know if we can be of any further help

Thank you! by: Michelle Burke
Hi Tony
Thank you for this information. It helps alot! Yes we will be borrowing/ hiring transport.
Our budget should be mid/high as we are going to save for a year and a half.
We are interested in site seeing, game viewing, adrenaline activities, and just really experiencing the real Africa...Some of us have lived there and a few of us have never been to africa...so I would like them to expirence every thing.
If you could put together an itinerary of some sort for me that would be great! I am attempting one myself at the moment but it is quite hard to do it from England!
Thank you!
I love this site and all the information!

Booking Enquiry Form by: Tony
Hi Michelle
That's great, if you wouldn't mind just sending us one of our booking enquiry forms, found on any of the hotel or activity pages, that we can continue correspondence via email. Much easier than on this FAQ platform. We can then suggest an itinerary for you.
Thanks Tony
