The drive between Victoria Falls and Kasane is one of the most scenic border crossings in southern Africa. The 70km route passes through Zimbabwe's Zambezi National Park, where elephants, buffalo, and lion are regularly spotted from the road. But it also involves an international border crossing, and doing it independently for the first time, especially with luggage and unfamiliar roads, adds unnecessary stress to what should be a straightforward journey.

Our transfer service takes care of everything. Air-conditioned vehicle, hotel-to-hotel pickup, and a driver who knows the border procedures and assists you through every step of the crossing.
