Victoria Falls is one of the most stunning places on Earth. Known as Mosi-oa-Tunya, or “The Smoke That Thunders,” it’s an amazing natural wonder that sits between Zimbabwe and Zambia. People from all over come to see it. If you like having a good time, enjoy the outdoors, or just want to relax for a while, you should definitely visit Victoria Falls.

Before you take a thrilling zip-line ride over the Batoka Gorge or kick back on a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River, make sure you book a place to stay.

Let’s chat about why it’s a good idea to plan ahead and how to find the perfect spot for your stay while you’re in Victoria Falls.

Why You Should Book Your Place Early
Victoria Falls is a top spot for tourists in Africa, and it’s easy to see why. From June to August, the falls are at their best, and the weather is great for exploring. Many travelers go to that area during the busy season, so hotels and campsites get booked up pretty quickly.

Here are some reasons why it’s a good idea to book early:

.Better options: The best places, especially with nice views, go fast.

.More options: If you plan ahead, you’ll have more rooms and prices to pick from.

.You might save some cash: Many hotels have discounts or packages if you book early.

.Less hassle: Once your stay is arranged, you can concentrate on planning fun stuff like tours and safaris!

Figuring Out the Area: Zimbabwe or Zambia?

When you’re deciding where to stay, the first question is: Zimbabwe or Zambia?

Both places near the falls have amazing experiences, but they each have their own feel and things to do.

Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls Town)
Pros:

.You get the best views of the falls here.

.Victoria Falls National Park is just a short walk away.

.You can find all kinds of places to stay, whether you want a cozy lodge or a budget hostel.

.It’s also near local markets, restaurants, and places to enjoy the nightlife.

.Perfect for rookies, photographers, budget travelers, or anyone looking to see the falls at their finest.

Zambia (Livingstone)
Pros:

.You can check out Devil’s Pool, a cool natural rock pool right at the edge of the falls (but it’s seasonal).

.It’s usually a bit quieter and less crowded with tourists.

.There are some really nice lodges along the Zambezi River.

.It’s easy to get to nearby game parks and the Livingstone Museum.

.Best for: People who’ve been here before, couples wanting a romantic getaway, and those looking for something different.

No matter which side you pick, getting across the border is simple with the KAZA UniVisa, which lets you go between Zimbabwe and Zambia as many times as you want for up to 30 days.

What to Think About When Booking
When you’re picking a place to stay, it’s not just about the cost or how many stars it has. Here are some things to keep in mind:

.Location to the falls: If you want to see or hear the falls from your room, the spot really matters.

.Transfers and transport: Some places provide airport pickups or shuttles to key attractions.

.Tours and activities: Many hotels can help you set up safaris, white-water rafting, or microlight flights.

.Wi-Fi and amenities: Some spots are in the sticks and might not have strong internet or TV. Good for getting away, but plan for that.

.Meals: Not every place has a restaurant, especially cheaper ones, so consider meal options or nearby dining.

Tip for a grear stay

.Plan your activities early: Popular spots like Devil’s Pool and sunset cruises can book up fast, just like places to stay.

.Dress in layers: It can get a bit cold in the mornings and evenings, even when it’s warm during the day.

.Make sure to bring some cash in US dollars because that’s the currency that’s most widely accepted in Zimbabwe.

.Check what kind of visa you might need if you’re coming from outside Africa or crossing borders.

.Watch out for wildlife while you’re there! You might run into baboons, so it’s a good idea not to feed them or get too close.

Final Thoughts.
It’s not just a vacation, but stepping into one of the world’ best attractions — this is what Victoria Falls is all about. This is the kind of place where you can raft through the wild Zambezi, marvel at all that passes in the mist over the gorge and then watch the sun set on your lodge deck. It’s an unforgettable experience.
