Zimbabwe vs Zambia
One waterfall. Two countries. One bridge in between.
About 75% of the Falls’ viewpoints are on the Zimbabwe side. The bridge that links the two sides is where most of the bridge-based adrenaline activities happen.
Where the Falls are seen
The Victoria Falls National Park (Zimbabwe side) contains about 75% of the falls' viewpoints. You will follow a well-maintained network of paved paths roughly 2km/1.2 miles that wind through a lush rainforest kept alive year-round by the constant spray. There are 16 distinct viewpoints including the Livingstone Statue, the Main Falls, Rainbow Falls and Danger Point.

Where the bridge activities happen
The Bungee Jump, Bridge Swing and Bridge Slide / Zipline take place from the historic Victoria Falls Bridge — on the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia. 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.

Where the bridge slide goes
Starting from the Zambian side of the gorge and gliding toward the Zimbabwean side of the bridge, it is one of the few places in the world where you can slide across an international border.

Bushtracks Express vs Royal Livingstone Express
These are operated by the same company. Bushtracks Express departs from the Zimbabwe side (Victoria Falls town) running on Tuesdays and Fridays. The Royal Livingstone Express departs from the Zambia side (Livingstone) and usually runs on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

How to cover both sides easily
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.
