Requirements change regularly
We highly recommend getting your information from the source. Use the links above to read about
your visa requirements as there are different visa requirements for different country categories.
If you plan to visit both sides of Victoria Falls
the KAZA UniVisa at 50 USD is almost always the best value. A single Zambia visa alone costs 50 USD,
and you would still need a separate Zimbabwe visa on top of that.
Where can I use the Kaza UniVisa?
Currently, the KAZA UNIVISA can only be used and is only available at the following ports of entry in Zambia and Zimbabwe:
zambia
Kenneth Kaunda International Airport in Lusaka
Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport in Livingstone
Victoria Falls Border
Kazungula Border
zimbabwe
