A Vic Falls safari is rarely just one country. The standard circuit moves through Zimbabwean Hwange and Victoria Falls town, crosses to Livingstone on the Zambian side for the Knife Edge bridge view and a Devil's Pool sunrise, often adds the Lower Zambezi or South Luangwa, and day-trips across to Chobe in Botswana for the river game drives out of Kasane. CDC flags all three sides as year-round malaria transmission zones, with the Zambezi Valley and Vic Falls themselves explicitly named. Malarone is the daily chemoprophylaxis that covers the whole circuit. The Travel Pack adds azithromycin for the cross-border food variability and hydroxyzine for the 10-to-14-day sleep disruption of moving between four to six different lodges.

Common questions

Victoria Falls tri-country medication FAQ

  • Yes. CDC flags all three sides of a Victoria Falls circuit as malaria-transmission zones. Zimbabwe carries year-round risk throughout the lower-altitude Zambezi Valley including Vic Falls town itself, with the November-to-June rainy season as the peak window. Zambia is a year-round malaria zone country-wide, including Livingstone and the Lower Zambezi National Park. Botswana's northern parks — Chobe, Linyanti, the Okavango, all of which sit within a day's drive of Kasane — carry year-round risk as well. Because the standard tri-country itinerary moves through all three zones inside a single trip, you stay on the same daily Malarone tablet for the whole circuit. One Rx, three countries, no gaps.
