What to expect
Victoria Falls has real backpacker infrastructure, not just an afterthought — hostels here often organize communal dinners and group bookings for activities like rafting and sunset cruises, which is a good way to meet other travelers and often cheaper per person. See our solo travel guide for more.
- Dorm beds and budget private rooms both commonly available
- Group activity bookings organized by many hostels — ask at check-in
- A short walk from the Falls entrance at most properties
