★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 11 reviews · from $79

Spend about six hours with a private guide visiting Victoria Falls from both Zimbabwe and Zambia. Walk through the rainforests, stop at several viewpoints, feel the spray, and watch the falls thunder into the gorges. Hotel pickup, drop-off, water, and guiding are included, while park fees and visas cost extra.

“Nice, but the view was not what we expected. It was very foggy and blurry, many water drops in the air, so not as much as expected to see. The price of the tour was 90$ per person and 50$ more entrance fee for one park. Too much, not worth it to my opinion.”
