Scenic River Safaris
Victoria Falls River Safaris offers you an exceptional upper Zambezi River safari experience. Our specifically
designed propeller-free safari boats can operate in water as shallow as 20cm, increasing our operational range
to as close as 200 metres from the Victoria Falls. As a result, we can now offer cruises to amazing parts of the
Zambezi that have previously been out of reach. Enjoy the thrill of speeding over rapids then slowing down
for a leisurely game viewing trip around the islands.
Victoria Falls River Safaris emphasise personalized service and exclusivity coupled with adventure, superb
game viewing and extraordinary photographic opportunities. The boats have cushioned seats, and are
equipped with a bird book and map showing the route. An experienced skipper conducts your safari; sharing
interesting information about the river, the wildlife, the people and the history.

Royal Landing
What is the best way to explore the mighty Zambezi? On a boat
that meanders along remote channels and speeds across rapids,
or aboard a luxury cruise boat that offers gracious hospitality?
The Ultimate River Cruise Experience offers both unique river
cruises in one unforgettable combination activity that will
ensure you experience all the Zambezi has to offer.
At the Royal Livingstone deck board the river safari
boat for an exciting speedy ride over the rapids,
then slow down to a leisurely pace to enjoy closeup game viewing before stopping for delicious
refreshments on one of the islands. The cruise
then continues upstream on the Zimbabwean
side of Siloka Island where you join the
African Queen or the African Princess to
toast the African sunset from the comfort
of these royal crafts. The trip back to
the deck in the fading light is a magical
conclusion to your Zambezi experience.

TRAVEL TIPS
TIME DIFFERENCES
Zambia operates two hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time
throughout the year, making it:
• An hour ahead of central European winter time,
• Seven hours ahead of Eastern standard winter time and
• Seven hours behind Australian central time.
PASSPORTS & VISAS
Entry by foreign nationals to Zambia is fairly straightforward,
and hassle-free. All visitors must be in possession of a valid
passport, and in some cases, a visa. Please contact your travel
agent or embassy for further details.
BANKS & MONEY
The currency unit is the Kwacha, denoted by the symbol K.
Foreign currency can be exchanged at local banks, and Bureaux
de Changes. Most major international credit cards, such as
American Express, Mastercard, Visa (and their affiliates), are
widely accepted.
TIPPING
Most restaurants do not add a service charge to bills - thus it
is customary to leave a 10-15% gratuity. Parking and petrol
station attendants can be given whatever small change you
have available. This is always appreciated, even though it may
seem a small amount.
TAX
Value added tax (VAT) is charged on most items.
CLOTHING
The seasons in the Southern Hemisphere are directly opposite
to those of the Northern Hemisphere. For summer months,
lightweight (cottons and linens), short-sleeved clothes are best,
although a light jersey / jumper might be needed for the cooler
evenings. Umbrella’s and raincoats are essential for summer.
Warmer clothes are needed for the winter months.
ELECTRICITY
Zambia’s electricity supply is 220/250 volts. Most plugs have
three square pins but some plugs with two smaller pins are also
found on appliances. Adaptors can generally be purchased from
major stores but supply may be limited. US-made appliances
may require a transformer.
HOSPITALS & MEDICAL CARE
There is a large network of public and private hospitals
countrywide offering good service. However travellers must
have adequate health insurance to cover the fees that the
private hospitals charge.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Most parts of the country can be safely visited by tourists,
provided they take basic common sense precautions, for
example: not walking alone in deserted areas at night, and
being circumspect about how much photographic equipment
or jewelry is carried or worn. Most major cities run organized
crime prevention programs.
ROAD SAFETY
Avoid long car journeys that necessitate driving at night, as it
always carries more risk. In more remote rural areas the roads
are not fenced, so there may be stray animals on the road,
which could be very dangerous at night.
DRIVING
All visitors intending to drive are required to obtain an
international drivers permit. Visitors found driving without
a permit will be fined. Visitors will also not be able to rent a
car without a valid drivers permit. The wearing of seatbelts is
compulsory, and strictly enforced by law.
SHOPPING
Most major shopping centers and malls operate seven days a
week, but in smaller towns and rural areas shops are closed
on Sundays.
General trading hours are:
• Monday - Saturday: 09h00 - 17h00
• Sundays: 09h00 - 14h00
MALARIA
It is advisable to take adequate precautions when visiting
Zambia as certain areas are Malaria prone. With modern
insect repellents and using common sense, one can reduce the
chances of being bitten to almost zero.
The cheapest, safest and most effective measures against
malaria are physical barriers, such as a mosquito net, and the
use of a good insect repellent. If you decide to take malaria
prophylaxis, it is essential that you take the drugs according
to the directions on the package insert. You will need to
start a week or two before entering a malaria-endemic area,
and should continue taking the drugs for four weeks after
leaving the malaria risk area. It is advisable to consult a
medical professional before embarking on a course of malaria
prophylaxis, this is especially relevant for expectant mothers.
