Victoria Falls Airport
There are seperate queues for those who have visas or don't need them, and those who are getting visas on arrival. As it can take a while (like over an hour) to clear immigration, we recommend applying for a visa in advance. Baggage is collected from the aircraft and placed on the ground behind the immigration officers, for you to pick up once you have cleared immigration.

This is because most airlines change their flight patterns in April which coincides with the summer season in Europe. So a plan has been set in motion to re-strategise come April. In terms of aircrafts to be used, we are ready on that front."
