Arrival in Victoria Falls
On the aircraft approaching Victoria Falls, you may be given an Immigration and Customs Form to fill out. If not, these will be available for you at the arrival terminal. Please fill these in, one for each passport. On arrival at Victoria Falls Airport, please proceed through Immigration formalities where you may be required to purchase a visa depending on your Nationality. Collect your luggage from the luggage rack and proceed to Customs. After customs is the entrance to the main concourse where a Bushtracks representative will be waiting with your names clearly printed on a name board.

Your Guide will welcome you and assist you with your luggage to your transfer vehicle. It is important that guests identify their own luggage and ensure that it is all there before embarking on their transfer to avoid any inconvenience.

The transfer time from Victoria Falls Airport to Victoria Falls Hotel is approximately 25 minutes. Along the way you will pass through the centre of Victoria Falls town and your guide will give you a brief introduction and orientation before dropping you off at The Victoria Falls Hotel.

It is important to remember that clearing immigration and customs can take up to 45 minutes for those in the Visa Queue.

Visas
Visa Fees are NOT included in the transfer rates and are always for the clients’ account. Most nationalities are now required to pay for a visa in order to enter Zimbabwe. For most passport holders, this can be purchased at the airport or border post. However some nationalities are required to obtain a Zimbabwean visa before they travel. Please check with the relevant Consular Service. A double entry visa is required if you are planning a Chobe Day trip or Tour of the Eastern Cataract of the Falls in Zambia. If you are transiting through Zimbabwe, to Botswana or Zambia on Airport Transfers and will be transiting back in to Zimbabwe – you will require a double entry Visa for Zimbabwe and would need to check on Visa’s for Botswana and Zambia where applicable.
