l MOVING ON Visitors to Victoria Falls don’t have to travel far to find world-class big five safaris – Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe, South Luangwa National Park in Zambia and Chobe National Park in Botswana are all within easy driving distance. International airports on both sides of the falls have daily flights to Johannesburg, where clients can connect with the rest of southern and central Africa.
From the newly expanded Harry
Mwanga Nkumbula International airport (formerly Livingstone airport; Zambian side) they can also fly direct to Kruger National Park and the East African cities of Addis Ababa and Nairobi. From Victoria Falls airport (Zimbabwean side) there are flights to Windhoek in Namibia and Maun in Botswana, and the network could expand considerably when the new international airport opens in September. A 4,000-metre runway will be capable of handling larger, wide-bodied jets, including the Airbus A380. 2by2 Holidays managing director
Claire Farley says: “Direct flights from Europe would mean Victoria Falls could potentially replace Johannesburg as the hub for flights into Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia and Malawi.” TW
