I arrived in Livingstone yesterday. The immigration procedure took almost as long as the flight!  I got a multiple entry visa on arrival so I can enter Zimbabwe today and see the falls from the other side.  All the documentation says they accept credit cards at the airport, but it was cash only, so you should bring cash (in US$) if you visit Zambia.<\/p>\n

This is one of the views from the Zambia side.  You must pay to enter the park, but after that you can explore the trails.  You can hike across a little bridge from the mainland to the headland where you will most likely get soaked!<\/div>\n
