Victoria Falls visas and border crossings.
Visa requirements at Victoria Falls depend on your nationality, your passport, how many times you cross between Zimbabwe and Zambia, and current immigration policy in both countries. Requirements change, so Wanderer verifies the position against official Zimbabwean and Zambian immigration guidance before a cross-border itinerary is confirmed.

The basics that rarely change
Carry a passport with ample validity beyond your travel dates and sufficient blank pages. Children travelling with one parent or with a guardian may need additional documentation in the region. Keep printed copies of your itinerary and accommodation confirmations.
Crossing between Zimbabwe and Zambia
The crossing runs over Victoria Falls Bridge between the two border posts. Walking, transfer vehicles and organised tours all use it. Every crossing is a formal immigration process — this is not an internal park gate.
If your itinerary includes more than one crossing, the number of entries permitted by your visa becomes the deciding factor in how we sequence the days.
The KAZA UniVisa
A regional visa concept covering Zimbabwe and Zambia has operated at various points, including day access to Botswana for certain routings. Its availability, eligible nationalities and issuing points have changed more than once.
We treat it as something to confirm at the time of booking rather than a permanent product, and we always plan a fallback that works with standard single- or double-entry visas.
What Wanderer checks before issuing an itinerary
Nationality-specific entry requirements for both countries; number of crossings and matching visa entries; current border operating hours; park opening times on each side; transfer buffers for queue variability; and any health or documentation requirements in force at the time of travel.
Where to go next
Conditions, fees, immigration rules and operator licensing change. Wanderer re-verifies the current position with the operator or official source before your itinerary is confirmed.
