KAZA UniVisa — Zimbabwe + Zambia for $50
The KAZA UniVisa covers both Zimbabwe and Zambia for $50, making it the best option for Victoria Falls visitors who plan to cross between the two countries. Victoria Falls straddles the Zimbabwe-Zambia border — the KAZA UniVisa allows you to visit the falls from both sides without paying two separate visa fees.
| Zimbabwe eVisa (Single) | KAZA UniVisa | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | $30 | $50 |
| Countries Covered | Zimbabwe only | Zimbabwe + Zambia |
| Validity | 30 days | 30 days |
| Best For | Zimbabwe-only trips | Victoria Falls, cross-border trips |
If you’re visiting Victoria Falls and planning to see it from both the Zimbabwe and Zambia side, the KAZA UniVisa at $50 saves you money compared to buying a Zimbabwe eVisa ($30) plus a Zambia eVisa ($50) separately.
