Both, ideally. Zim side has 16 viewpoints + 75% of the falls face + more consistent views year-round (US$50 entry). Zam side has closer views + Knife-Edge Bridge + Devil's Pool (Aug–Oct only, US$20 entry). Best plan: stay 2 nights each or use KAZA UNIVISA to cross daily.

Do I need a visa?
KAZA UNIVISA US$50 single-entry 30 days covers Zimbabwe + Zambia + Botswana day-trip (Chobe) — buy on arrival at VFA/LVI for most Western passports (US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, NZ). Otherwise Zim single-entry US$30–55 + Zam single US$50 separately. Yellow-fever cert required from endemic countries.
How do I combine Victoria Falls with Morocco?
Connect via Doha (Qatar Airways to VFA), Addis Ababa (Ethiopian daily), or Nairobi (Kenya Airways) — 14–16h total. Marhaba's Sahara-to-Zambezi loop: 5 nights Morocco + 4 nights Victoria Falls (both sides + adventure) + 3 nights Chobe/Hwange safari. Ultimate Africa 12-night adventure.
Is Victoria Falls good for families?
Yes for older kids (8+) — Zim-side rainforest walk safe (raincoat essential); Boma Dinner + Drum Show (all-ages), elephant-back interactions, sundowner cruise (kids' menu), Chobe river safari 90 min. Devil's Pool + bungee + rafting age-restricted 15/18+.
What's the best luxury stay?

Which airport — VFA or LVI?
VFA (Victoria Falls Airport, Zim) has more direct flights: Johannesburg (SAA/Airlink 1h30 daily), Cape Town, Nairobi (Kenya Airways), Addis (Ethiopian), Doha (Qatar), Windhoek (Airlink). LVI (Livingstone, Zam) is Proflight from Lusaka + Airlink from Johannesburg only. If you want Zambian side base, use LVI; otherwise VFA more convenient.
