  • When visiting Victoria Falls, we recommend that you request a KAZA UNIVISA on arrival. The KAZA UNIVISA can be obtained at your port of entry and can be purchased on arrival. This acts as a multi-entrance visa allowing you to travel between Zambia and Zimbabwe as often as you would like within a 30-day period. The KAZA UNIVISA currently costs US$50 per person (paid in cash), although this can change with little to no warning, so we recommend bringing a few extra dollars. Please note the supply of the KAZA UNIVISA stickers has been erratic of late, so we advise visitors to be prepared to purchase regular visa(s) should the UNIVISA be unavailable.
