Great view, but we felt a bit hassled at the border and it was a hot and dry walk to the bridge. Not for acrophobes. More

There are no signs towards the bridge, and unless you have an escort, it is not very pleasant. The walk is on a broken road with potholes, unshaded and hot, and getting there does not do much. The view is much better from inside the Falls or from Stanley Terace. More

Great view of the mist from the falls and looking up the gorge to the other side where the Vic Hotel is. Also watched some crazy people bungee jump, zip line and swing. If I ever go back I will do the swing for sure it looked like fun. You do get harassed a bit by the local traders but... More

The walk across the bridge is worth it - it takes about 30mins between border posts - but there are countless people trying to sell you something - get a taxi for $5 to avoid this - its worth it More

I walked to the bridge in order to watch my husband bungy/ swing. It was my favorite part of the stay. The view was nice, the bungy activities were fun to watch. I did not like the locals harassing me. I was standing there trying to take pictures of my husband and they kept trying to talk to me- eventually... More

Great view of Victoria falls and gorge without getting soaked by the mist. There is a great photo op to get the falls, gorge and a persistent rainbow in the mist. To visit the bridge from the Zambia side you have to get a piece of paper with a one-day immigration re-entry stamp on it and must not lose it... More

You just MUST do the bridge tour operated by Shearwater. It tells of the history of the bridge that was built over 100 years ago in the middle of nowhere!! More
