Moderate. Most walks last about 3 to 4 hours at a slow pace, typically 5 to 8 km on flat ground and soft sand, often in heat; the longest, on day 5, is about 8 to 10 km. The canoeing is easy flat-water paddling with a guide. On any day you can take the game drive or the boat instead.

The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests. On foot, Zambian walking parties are kept small, usually six guests at most, a limit we confirm with each camp, so a full group walks as two parties, each with its own walking guide and armed scout.

It depends what you want. From about February to June the Falls are at their fullest but the spray hides much of them; from July to September the view is clearer and Livingstone Island is open; from October to December the water is low and the Eastern Cataract can run dry. We run April to December.

Most visitors, Canadians included, need a Zimbabwe visa, and a single-entry one is not enough: you re-enter Zimbabwe after the Chobe day and again on day 4 to reach VFA. The KAZA UniVisa, where it is being issued, covers Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana day trips; otherwise get a multiple-entry visa. We confirm the rules when you book.
