Planning details: logistics, timing and safety

Best logistics for a compact seven-day loop usually start and end at Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe) airport (VFA). We recommend arriving by international flight via Johannesburg or other regional hubs, then using pre-arranged transfers or short regional flights to reach lodges. Zimtrek coordinates trusted ground operators, guides and transfers so your route flows smoothly.

Suggested activity options and upgrades

• Falls-focused day: guided falls walk, museum visit, and evening sunset cruise on the Zambezi.
• Wildlife focus: full-day game drives in Hwange National Park or private concession game walks where available.
• Border trip option: day trip to Chobe (Botswana) for extended boat and game-drive variety; passport and visa checks required by authorities.
• Upgrade experiences: helicopter flight of the falls, private photographic safaris, or a luxury riverside lodge night.
