  Two countries, two park entries

  1. jan. – 31. dec.

  The falls are split between Zimbabwe and Zambia and each side charges its own park fee at its own gate. Most people cross the bridge to see both, which is a border formality; the shared KAZA visa covers it for many nationalities. Kilde ↗

  The Zambezi crests around April and the spray goes several hundred metres up, visible from a long way off. The catch is that the spray is also all you can see of the falls from the viewpoints, and you will be soaked.

  On the three nights around each full moon while the river is up, both parks open after dark and the spray throws a moonbow. Separate ticket, limited numbers, and you will be soaked. Kilde ↗

  By October the Zambian side can be bare rock and photographs of an empty cliff do the rounds every year. The Zimbabwean side keeps the deeper main channel flowing, so which country you stand in matters most in these months.
