Visa & entry

KAZA UniVisa, the bridge, and travelling with children.

Three things to know before you arrive: the KAZA UniVisa unlocks both sides of the Falls plus day trips into Botswana; the bridge sits in “no-man’s-land” between the border posts; and Botswana has strict documentation rules for travel with minors.

What does the KAZA UniVisa cover, and how much is it?

If you are staying in Victoria Falls and visiting Chobe for the day, the KAZA UniVisa ($50 USD) is highly recommended. It allows you to enter both Zimbabwe and Zambia and covers day trips into Botswana without needing to buy a new visa upon your return. Your passport is essential for the border crossing.

Do I need a visa to reach the bridge for bungee and bridge activities?

Jumpers must carry their passport to access the bridge, which is on “No Man’s Land” between the two border posts, but no visa or stamps are needed to reach the jump point.

What documentation is required to travel into Botswana with a child under 18?

To travel into or through Botswana with a child under 18 years of age, specific documentation is strictly required to prevent child trafficking. These rules apply to all minors, regardless of their nationality.

  • A valid passport
  • An unabridged or certified birth certificate
  • A parental consent affidavit, if travelling with one parent
