Zanzibar to Vic Falls

I am looking to travel alone from Zanzibar to Vic falls on the 12th August...anyone else done it, doing it or have any advice?!

Are you after getting there as quickly as possible or looking at doing a journey, stopping along the way?

If its a quick trip - fly; Zanzibar to Dar and then connect with a flight to Lusaka and bus to the falls; slowest - ferry to Dar, train and then 2 buses. Please more info about your monetary budget and timeframes. Cheers

I'm looking to do it as a journey down stopping along the way. Just unsure how to go about it and what visa's i'll need

Cross back to Dar, head down towards Malawi and make a couple stops along the lake (there are numerous options). From Lilongwe cross over to Zambia, try and get yourself to South Luangua (in my opinion the best park in Africa) - look at Flat Dogs camp site as an option there. Then onto Lusaka as a stop over to break up the journey and on to Livingstone. You can either get visa on arrival or don't need a visa for just about all countries from Tanzania down. When you cross into Zambia you may be able to get a UNIVISA which covers Zambia and Zimbabwe, it's not available at all entry points, not sure about the border with Malawi.
