 | Victoria Falls Packing Lists | Tips 1 - 4 of 4 |  |
Popular Packing Lists | Other Packing Lists Tips | All Tips (4) The guidebooks tell you to wear showewrproof gear when visiting the Falls, especially from the Zambian side... Forget it! Nothing can protect you from the amount of spray that the Falls generate. It's like having buckets of warm water thrown at you and you're soaked to the skin in seconds. The bonus is that it's so hot you dry off in minutes once you're clear of the Falls.
The local authorities spray the vicinity of Victoria Falls with insecticide to reduce the risk of malaria to tourists. Having said that, as soon as you leave Vic Falls the mosquitos are waiting for you so take malaria prophylaxis.
There's so much water (you can't call it spray) near the Falls that ordinary cameras will be ruined in seconds. Keep your gear in a plastic bag and don't be tempted to take it out when you're near the water.
The sun is very intense and you're fooled by the cooling effects of the spray from the Falls. Use lots of sunscreen. Leave a Comment

If you are visiting the falls in summer you definately need something against the rain from the falls.........
I have been there in winter and it was quite wet experience.......Also bring good shoes if you want to go to Zambia as well...itīs quite a way into the neighbor country!
