This Victoria Falls Zimbabwe side contains 75% of the falls and has 16 different viewing points including the main falls which offer impressive views all year round, the Devil&#8217;s Cataract, Horseshoe Falls and Rainbow Falls. It is at this side of the falls where there is the famous David Livingstone Statue overlooking the falls at the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> viewing point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zimbabwe_Side_Highlights\"><\/span><strong>Zimbabwe Side Highlights <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Iconic view of the Main Falls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water flowing all year round<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Entrance fee is $30<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The falls on this side never dry up.

The misty spray showers over the rainforest. This makes Zimbabwe an ideal place to visit at any time of the year. In most situations, whether it was a last minute trip or you don\u2019t have enough time on your hands.

This <strong>Victoria Falls Zambia <\/strong>side allows you to get extremely close to the falls and be completely drenched by the rising spray. This side contains only 25% of the falls but offers double the experience if you get a chance to visit during the height of the wet season. The falls will be at their mightiest and the volume would be so incredible that even though you don\u2019t see much as compared to Zimbabwe. But you would have experienced a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zambia_Side_Highlights\"><\/span><strong>Zambia Side Highlights <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Exceptionally close-up waterfall viewing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swim in the Devil\u2019s Pool during dry season<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Entrance fee is $20<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the dry season, the falls on this side can completely dry up depending on the water levels and this becomes the perfect time to open up the rafting season and the very popular <a href=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/devils-pool\"><strong>Devil\u2019s Pool<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/livingstone\"><strong>Livingstone Island<\/strong><\/a>. The <strong>Devil&#8217;s Pool<\/strong> is a natural rock swimming pool right by the edge of the waterfall and you can swim in it as you watch the water cascading over the waterfall. The experience is exhilarating and thrilling if you fancy an adventure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Zambian side is also the only side where you can get access to the beautiful <strong>Livingstone Island<\/strong> and it is on this Island where David Livingstone first set eyes on the <a href=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/victoria-falls\"><strong>Victoria Falls<\/strong><\/a> Besides that you will also get the chance to see the beautiful views of the falls from a whole different angle.

Visiting one country will leave you with half the experience and half the excitement. Yes both countries offer different feels and views but that\u2019s what makes them unique, special and worth it. It is even easier now to experience both countries thanks to the<strong> KAZA Univisa<\/strong>. This allows you to cross the border even into Botswana as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Factors_To_Consider_In_Making_Your_Decision_For_Victoria_Falls\"><\/span><strong>Factors To Consider In Making Your Decision For Victoria Falls<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG_1466.jpg\" alt=\"Best Time To Visit \" class=\"wp-image-1221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG_1466.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG_1466-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/IMG_1466-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Time_of_the_Year_you_travel\"><\/span><strong><u>Time of the Year you travel<\/u><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The time of year <strong>Victoria Falls Tour<\/strong> will have a significant impact on your experience and decision. During the peak flow months of <strong>February to May<\/strong>, you will see a beautiful cascade of water and will most likely get drenched by spray. And also this is the <a href=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/best-time-to-visit-victoria-falls\"><strong>Best Time To Visit Victoria Falls<\/strong><\/a>. If you visit the falls in June, the spray will be so thick that you can\u2019t see the falls clearly. If you visit during the dry season, such as November, the water volume is low. The falls can feel underwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Activities_you_wish_to_do\"><\/span><strong><u>Activities you wish to do<\/u><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Length_of_your_stay\"><\/span><strong><u>Length of your stay<\/u><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the <a href=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/victoria-falls-activities\"><strong>Victoria Falls Activities<\/strong><\/a> that you can do in <a href=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/zambia-destinations\"><strong>Zambia<\/strong><\/a>, you can also do on the Zimbabwean side. The only exception is the <a href=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/devils-pool\"><strong>Devil&#8217;s Pool<\/strong><\/a>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/microlight-flight\">Microlight Flight<\/a><\/strong> and Livingston Island, you will only find these in Zambia. If you care for adventure or might not be keen enough to see much of the falls during the dry season then these activities are for you. Then these activities are for you. It will be easier to head to the Zambian side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where to stay between <strong>Zimbabwe<\/strong> and <strong>Zambia<\/strong> will also depend on the number of days you decide to visit. If you are visiting for a few days it will depend on what your priority is. If you want to see the <strong>Victoria Falls<\/strong>, Zimbabwe will be very good and if you want to experience them, Zambia is your best option (only in the wet season). If you have more days, it gives you ample time to explore Victoria Falls from both sides. Which is the best decision in our opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Budget\"><\/span><strong><u>Budget<\/u><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another factor to consider during <a href=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/victoria-falls\"><strong>Victoria Falls Tou<\/strong>r <\/a>is the budget. If the budget permits, then why not have the best of both worlds and have the time of your life. It is always good to grab the opportunity if you can. For some however it might be a bit expensive to see Victoria Falls from both sides. So they will have to pick one. This will depend on what you want out of your trip and what you want to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So in summary when you are deciding between the Zimbabwean and the Zambian side of Victoria Falls, the main things you need to consider are: the time of year you plan on visiting, activities you wish to do, length of stay and budget. <a href=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\"><strong>Falcon Safaris<\/strong><\/a> do recommend you to try to <a href=\"https:\/\/falconsafaris.com\/victoria-falls\"><strong>Visit Victoria Falls<\/strong><\/a> from both the countries if you haven\u2019t and enjoy the trip of a lifetime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The question arise in mind as to which side of the Victoria Falls is better and the debate over it seems to be on-going as more and more opinions spring up.
