Getting Here: A Traveler’s Guide to Reaching Kasambabezi Lodge

Planning a trip to Victoria Falls can feel like a big undertaking, especially if it’s your first time visiting this corner of Southern Africa. Here’s everything you need to know to make your journey to Kasambabezi Lodge as smooth as possible.

By Air

Victoria Falls International Airport is the main gateway to the region, connecting to major hubs like Johannesburg, Cape Town, Nairobi, and Addis Ababa, with onward connections to destinations worldwide. From the airport, it’s a smooth 22km drive to Kasambabezi Lodge — around 25 to 30 minutes by road. Airport transfers can be arranged directly with our team, so you can relax the moment you land.

By Road

For travelers coming from neighboring countries, Victoria Falls is well connected by road. Many visitors arrive via Zambia, crossing the iconic Victoria Falls Bridge, or from Botswana through the Kazungula border post. However you arrive, the town itself is compact and easy to navigate, with Kasambabezi Lodge just 1.9km from the city center.

Border Crossings and Visas

Zimbabwe offers visas on arrival for most nationalities, and the KAZA UniVisa — valid for travel between Zimbabwe and Zambia — is a convenient option for those planning to explore both sides of the falls. We recommend checking current visa requirements for your nationality before you travel, as regulations can change.

What to Pack

Depending on the season of your visit, pack accordingly: light, breathable clothing for the dry months, a raincoat for flood season, and always a good pair of walking shoes for exploring the rainforest and surrounding trails. Don’t forget your camera — and a dry bag or waterproof cover if you’re visiting between February and May.

From the moment you step through our doors, our team is here to help you make the most of your stay — whether that’s arranging activities, recommending the best spots for sunset views, or simply pointing you toward the nearest cup of coffee.
