Book cheap flights from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls

Booking a few weeks ahead usually gets you better prices. Midweek flights are often cheaper than weekends. The dry season, from May to October, is peak time for visiting the Falls, so prices can climb then. April – June for peak flow (right after the rains) and July – August for the best weather and game viewing. If you’re flexible, you’ll have more room to find a good deal. Check regularly and jump on it when the price feels right.

You’re going to get wet. Properly wet. The spray from the Falls is no joke, so pack something waterproof if you’re getting close. It’s warm most of the year, so light clothing works. US dollars are widely used, so carry some cash. Activities book up quickly, especially in peak season, so plan ahead if there’s something you really want to do.

You’ll fly out of OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg and land at Victoria Falls Airport. It’s small, easy, and about 20 minutes from the Falls. Basically, you’ll land and get straight into it.
