Hard to say… People are just fantastic, but they are under so much presure at the moment that it is hard to say how this particular place is. Common sense and be careful! Do visit Victoria Falls Safari Lodge (evening meal Zim style) and Victoria Falls Hotel (afternoon tea in the old colonial style).

The service providers will go out of their way to accomodate your children, and would not expect you to have any problems. Again, common sense will be usefull!

Enjoy, heaven on earth!

Hi Cumberland: Visiting the Falls is amazing, and the kids will have fun. As mentioned in my post, there are no railings so safety could be an issue if the kids tend to be rowdy. I recommend having them wear their bathing suits. Your shoes will be soaked too (took me a couple of days to dry out mine) so be sure to bring a second pair. There is a market up the street from the Kingdom hotel, that they may enjoy visiting. It mainly sold carved animals, woven baskets and batik cloth when we were there. A caution – we had to ask the vendors to back off and give us some space, because they literally swarmed us. There is also a huge, ancient baobob tree that they might like to visit.

The people there are friendly and are greatful for anything you can give: pens, hats, hygeine products, candy. Some were aggressive in asking for things but most were fine.

I think 1 night will be sufficient there.

Be sure to take enough USD to pay the entry visas. A week before we visited, the president doubled the price of entry visas for Canadians – and we had to pay in US currency (not Zimbabwean or Canadian)
