Know before you go

Carry a passport if coming from Zimbabwe or planning to cross the border after the tour. A KAZA UniVisa is recommended for easy cross-border access.
Expect water levels to vary by season; the falls are fullest between March and May, with dramatic spray and mist. From September to December, some sections may dry up, offering clearer views of rock formations.
Observe wildlife such as birds, vervet monkeys, and sometimes warthogs in the rainforest respectfully and from a distance.
Wear suitable footwear and walk carefully, as paths can be wet and slippery, especially on the Knife-Edge Bridge.
Use a waterproof bag or case to protect your camera or phone from spray. Early morning or late afternoon light provides the best photo conditions.
Bring cash to purchase local crafts and souvenirs from vendors at the park entrance and exit.
Prepare for tours to operate in most weather conditions; check with your tour operator for updates during extreme weather.
