Practical tips

• Best time to travel depends on priorities: drier months concentrate animals around water; high water months highlight the Falls' full spectacle. Your exact dates influence activities price and availability.
• Visas and cross-border transfers can affect timing; Zimtrek will advise on passport and permit recommendations for Zimbabwe and Zambia travel options.
• Packing: breathable layers, good camera gear, waterproof protection for the Falls spray, and comfortable walking shoes.
