Livingstone and Victoria Falls
Sleep in Livingstone; do the falls in the morning, the river at sunset, and the Zimbabwe side or Chobe only as a separate day with a visa plan.

Rules in force · 3
- Zambia ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport on official Zambian government sources; if you will cross to Zimbabwe, ask about the KAZA UniVisa and whether it is available to you.
- Zambia ↗Do not photograph government buildings, police, the military, airports or bridges.
- Zambia ↗Many bush camps open only in the dry season; check opening dates before you fix flights.
The falls are one base and a few excursions. Moving hotels between the town and the river wastes the mornings; keep one bed, go out and come back, and check the visa rules before you cross to Zimbabwe or Botswana.
