Victoria Falls Border Now Operating 24 Hours
The Victoria Falls border post between Zimbabwe and Zambia is now open around the clock, effective immediately. Previously, the crossing closed at 10 p.m. each night, limiting travel options for visitors and trade between the two countries.

The new policy is expected to enhance travel efficiency for visitors exploring the shared attractions of Zambia and Zimbabwe, particularly the UNESCO-listed Victoria Falls area.
“Extending the border’s operational hours will significantly benefit our tourism sector and facilitate smoother regional travel,” said a spokesperson from Zambia Tourism.
Impact on Local Businesses and Visitors
Local businesses near the border anticipate increased income from extended tourist activity, with hotels, restaurants, and transport operators preparing for higher nighttime traffic. Visitors can now enjoy a more flexible schedule for sightseeing, safaris, and cross-border tours without being restricted by previous curfews.
