Hi Lizzie

Yes, it is safe to travel to Victoria Falls town in Zimbabwe. For the time of year you are looking to travel, this will be the best side to view the Falls.
Personally, I prefer to fly all my travellers in and out of Victoria Falls airport, especially guests coming from overseas with no experience of driving in Africa.
Whereabouts will you be coming from?

Hi Lizzie,
I second that - Zimbabwe is safe for travel, especially around the Victoria Falls area and Zimbabwe offers the best view!! So whichever side you decide to stay on, definitely include a tour from this side.

We have had no troubles travelling through Vic Falls, but use the usual traveller’s precautions. There are no bargain flights into Vic Falls; it has recently had an upsurge in tourist activity. But check on South African Airways, Air Namibia British Air Ways and Air Zimbabwe are the major carries. I am guessing you will fly via Johannesburg. Depending on how many days you have available you may be interested in visiting what I call the 4 corners (Namibia, Botswana and Zambia, Zimbabwe) as it is a hop, skip and a jump to get into all these countries. You would need about 6 days to do a whirlwind tour or you could just do Victoria Falls and lounge a little and perhaps take a day tour into Zambia. Of course this all depends on what your interest are, cultural, wild life, collecting county stamps.
