The Victoria Falls City Guides answer what every first visit here throws up: which activities are worth booking and which street offers to walk past, how to see the Falls from Zambia as well as Zimbabwe without wasting a morning at the border, where to try Zimbabwean cooking rather than another lodge buffet, and how to fit Chobe’s elephants into a single day. Each guide is a short, honest list that tells you why a place earns its spot, what to order or look out for and one practical tip, and it opens in your browser the moment you have paid.

Three places from the guides
Zulu Bistro Bar
Livingstone Way, town centre
The place to eat what Zimbabweans eat, at fair prices: crocodile, goat curry, slow-cooked cow cheeks, peanut-butter rice and samp, in generous helpings. Nervous eaters get a short list of familiar dishes of their own. From the food guide.
The Zambezi Helicopter Company
Pioneer Road, Chinotimba, with hotel pickup
From the ground the spray hides half the Falls. Up here, on the short or the longer loop, you finally see the whole curtain of water, the zigzag gorges below it and the islands upstream. Remember the park fee on top. From the things to do guide.
Pangolin Photo Safaris
Plateau Road, Kasane, Botswana
Small boats fitted with swivelling camera mounts and run by a photographer guide, so elephants drinking at the river’s edge are shot from water level, not over a row of heads. If pictures matter to you, this is where your Chobe money goes. From the safaris and day trips guide.
Plan your days in Victoria Falls
Day one: walk the Falls on the Zimbabwe side early, dry off with a smoothie at The Rainforest Cafe, then stop at the Big Tree on Zambezi Drive and board the Zambezi Explorer for a sunset cruise above the Falls. End with crocodile or goat curry at Zulu Bistro Bar. Day two: cross the bridge into Zambia, spend an hour in the Livingstone Museum, see the Falls from the Zambian side and take tea on the lawn of the Royal Livingstone, where zebra graze, before a sunset cruise on the Lady Livingstone. For a slow day, watch the vulture feeding at Victoria Falls Safari Lodge at 13:00 and stay for lunch at MaKuwa-Kuwa over the waterhole, browse the studios at Elephant’s Walk, then let Dusty Road Township Experience walk you through a Zimbabwean dinner. If you have a third day, give it to Chobe.
