If you are considering visiting Victoria Falls, it is best to read all government travel recommendations before booking any trip. If you have decided to go, take notice that when I attended you could not pay for anything via credit card or withdraw money from any banking facility.

The locals are accepting US$ for payment of things which is not legal but is accepted.

Whilst there I did not feel threatened or in danger, although the situtaion is not pleasing as food and petrol supply is very limiting.

I recommend traveling with a tour company so as you have a local with you at all times as to travel by yourself in a hire car could almost be deamed impossible due to the restrictions that were in place to purchase petrol (20 litres per vechicle), with some locals waiting for up to 3 days in ques.
