Livingstone border and visa on arrival
by georeiser
Visa on arrival is possible in Livingstone. The border is 400 meters after the Victoria Bridge. The tourist visa at the border cost 50 USD for all, and takes less than 15 minutes if there is no queue. If you already got a visa from an embassy prior to your arrival, there is nothing for you to write. The officer stamps your passport and the handling takes less than a minute. A tourist visa is valid for 90 days.
I was fooled by another web site to believe the visa fee on arrival was up to 200 USD. And therefor had my passport sent by mail to the Zambian embassy in another country. The total price with postal fee was more than the visa-on-arrival-fee.
A day-trip visa can be issued for 20 USD (typically issued to tourists visiting Victoria Falls from a neighboring country). Visitors who wish to stay longer than their initial period of entry must visit an immigration office to obtain.
Get Multiple entry visa if going over border
by nora_south_africa
If you visit the Chobe National Park Botswana do try to also do one of the Chobe river cruises, it was wonderful and you see lots of wildlife, do remember if you leave zambia you will pay visa again to return unless you have multiple entry visa!for ppl from Uk the visa is 140 USD, and those on the trip had to pay again that amount to enter after our visit in Botswana... so kinda expensive, I advise multiple entry visa if you consider going over the border.
Remember near Livingstone is where 4 countries come together... Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Botswana, standing at the river crossing between Zambia and Botswana you can see all 4 countires.. quite an unique experience.
Walk on the wild side!

Definitely get them to walk along the length of the Falls, then if they are keen, also get them to do the same from the neighbouring country - Zimbabwe.
For Zimbabwe, you will be ending up in the town called 'Victoria falls' itself!
If you're up for some bunjee-jumping, then this is also possible from the bridge linking the two countries. Bunjee-jumping to a stretch of 300 foot, facind the river Zambezi, and it's crocodiles!!

TRULY ZAMBIAN
by DAO
‘TRULY ZAMBIAN’ is actually the advertising slogan for Mosi beer. Mosi is the most popular beer sold in Zambia. Despite its humble origins, it seems to strike a chord with local people who are proud of their country. You will see this slogan just about everywhere! MOSI-OA-TUNYA is from the Kololo or Lozi language and means ‘The Smoke That Thunders’. I am not sure if this beer is the smoke or the thunder, but make sure you enjoy one or two.
