The easiest way to reach Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, is by flying directly into Victoria Falls International Airport (VFA), with frequent connections from Johannesburg and limited regional flights from cities like Nairobi and Addis Ababa. For digital nomads seeking comfort, private airport transfers or luxury hotel shuttles are recommended upon arrival.
Travelers can also arrive by train from Bulawayo, though it's slower and less convenient for high-budget visitors. Cross-border travel from Livingstone, Zambia, is possible via the Victoria Falls Bridge, with quick border procedures. November is the start of the rainy season, but typically, travel logistics remain unaffected; however, occasional flight delays are possible.
Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, has a subtropical climate with a hot, wet season from November to March and a dry, cooler season from May to August. April and October are transition months, often warmer. Expect lush scenery and high humidity during the wet months, while the dry months offer mild temperatures and clearer skies.
From November 14 to November 18, you can anticipate the start of the rainy season. Days are warm—often reaching highs around 32°C (90°F)—with increasing chances of afternoon thunderstorms. Extreme weather is uncommon, though brief, heavy downpours are possible, revitalizing local landscapes and boosting the Zambezi River’s flow for spectacular falls.
Victoria Falls offers a vibrant culinary scene blending Zimbabwean flavors with international cuisine. Popular local dishes include sadza (maize porridge), kapenta (fried fish), and game meats like kudu or crocodile. Zambezi Lager and Amarula liqueur are favorite local drinks, while fresh, seasonal fruits are widely available year-round.
For upscale dining, visit The Lookout Café for breathtaking views and gourmet plates, or sample exceptional Zimbabwean fare at The Palm Restaurant at Ilala Lodge. The Three Monkeys offers a trendy bar, pizza, and creative cocktails, while Shearwater Café is perfect for remote work and specialty coffees.

For a luxurious stay, consider The Victoria Falls Hotel, renowned for its colonial elegance and spectacular falls views, or Ilala Lodge, which offers modern comfort just steps from the waterfall.

Victoria Falls Guided Tour with Hotel Pickup
Victoria Falls known as the “Smoke that thunders” in the local Tonga language, is the largest single curtain of falling water in the world and 70% of the exquisite views are seen from the Zimbabwe rain forest. The rain forest which has constant rain 24/7 from the never ending spray of the Falls, has unique ecosystem. It is a botanists dream and bird lovers’ paradise. There are species here that don’t occur anywhere else, and our recommendation is to look just a little beyond the pathway and the numerous viewpoints. One of the beauties is that the area has not become over commercialized. In fact, once you are standing by the Falls your view will not be much different to that of David Livingstone’s who first saw the Falls in 1855. Walking within the Falls is a couple of kilometers and it does get very hot.
