KAZA VISA
We recommend that Victoria Falls River Lodge guests obtain a Univisa – which is a dual visa for Zimbabwe and Zambia known as the KAZA Visa – in order to freely move between the two countries. We recommend this visa especially for those guests who want to do some activities on the Zambian side of Victoria Falls e.g. a swim in Devil’s Pool or book a flip in the microlights (operated only on from the Zambian side).
Guests will also save time and money by purchasing a KAZA Visa, because they only have to obtain one visa to visit both countries (Zambia and Zimbabwe). The cost of the visa is US$50, and it lasts up to 30 days – as long as you remain within Zambia and Zimbabwe. The visa can be purchased at the border posts and airports in both Zimbabwe and Zambia.
Citizens of 65 countries are eligible for the KAZA Visa. To find out more about the visa, VIEW HERE>
ZIMBABWE VISA REQUIREMENTS
Zimbabwe uses a three-tier visa model, classified into Categories A, B and C. Category A is for visitors from countries whose nationals do NOT require a Visa. No action is required, you will be granted easy entry at any border post.
Category B is for visitors from countries whose nationals are granted a Zimbabwe visa at port of entry on payment of requisite visa fees (Cash Only). These visas are easily obtained on your arrival at the airport or border post. (The UniVisa, KAZA Visa, mentioned above is now available for most Category B countries.)
Category C is for visitors from countries that are required to apply for and obtain a Zimbabwean Visa prior to travelling. This may be done through an agency or the Zimbabwe High Commission in your home country.

ZAMBIA VISA REQUIREMENTS
Zambia also has three Visa categories for visitors to the country, similar to Zimbabwe. The First Category is for visitors who do not require a Visa to enter Zambia. No action or fee is required, except that the visitor produces a valid passport.
The Second Category requires visitors to purchase a Visa on arrival at the airport or border post.
The Third Category is for visitors who are required to purchase a Visa before travelling to Zambia. It is issued at missions abroad in visitors’ home countries, or in a neighbouring country.
