There are several great mid-range hotels and lodges in Zambia and Zimbabwe to pick from for an affordable trip, as well as a vast choice of all-inclusive packages covering flights, lodging, and some activities, which can offer excellent value.
Activity costs can add up quickly, especially if you’re traveling as a family, so a good option is to choose an activity package, which gets you a discounted rate on a range of activities bundled together.
Traveling during the low “green” season of November to April will mean discounted hotel rates and great prices on travel packages. While this isn’t the best time of year to visit Victoria Falls, there are some benefits (other than discounted prices). It’s the best time of year for birdwatching, November and December are great months for whitewater rafting, and the summer rains bring lush, green foliage to the national parks around the falls.
