Reply To: Victoria Falls flights

It’s very much worth visiting, but I have no idea why you would lack confidence in Ethiopian Airlines…?
If you just want to see the falls you have a choice between seeing them from Zambia or Zimbabwe.
VFA airport (Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe) is closer to the falls, LVI (Livingstone, Zambia) is about 30km away, but there are hotel options right by the falls.
The quickest route from the UK will probably be Ethiopian to ADD (unless perhaps you are entering as a Tigrayan, you shouldn’t have any concerns) and on to VFA. You will have more options flying via JHB (as well as being able to use your avios on BA) but it take longer.
In September you are probably better off viewing from Zimbabwe as flow stays more impressive. However, it is more difficult/expensive to do my favourite thing… Livingstone Island to stand on the edge of the falls…from the Zim side.
If you are interested and happen to be there on the 9/10/11th the National Park opens at night around the full moon and you might get to see a moonbow (try viewpoint 7).
Edit- should have said, if interested in the moonbow I think by September the Zambian side has stopped opening at night. It is the best side to see it in July/Aug though.
