The Victoria Falls border crossing between Zimbabwe and Zambia is now open 24 hours a day, effective from November, after previously closing at 10 pm each night. This significant change will alleviate congestion, reduce processing delays, and provide a much smoother transit experience for travelers moving between the two sides of the Falls. As one of the busiest crossings in Southern Africa, the transition to continuous operations enhances its role as a fully operational, seamless
tourism corridor for the region.
Visitors will now find it much easier to:
• enjoy sunrise and sunset views of the Falls
• participate in nighttime activities without worrying about a 10 pm cutoff
• create more flexible, personalized itineraries
• reach their destinations more quickly and efficiently
There is ample accommodation available on both sides of the border, with excellent options in Livingstone and the greater Victoria Falls area.
