Thank you — your request for is on its way to operators covering Dar es Salaam to Victoria Falls. Expect exact pricing by email, usually within a few hours.
Which airports serve the route?
Depart from Julius Nyerere International (DAR) — or from Zanzibar if your beach stay is there — and arrive at Victoria Falls International (VFA) in Zimbabwe or Livingstone (LVI) in Zambia, where immigration and customs are cleared.
Non-stop or with a fuel stop?
The great-circle distance is about 1,030 nautical miles. Midsize and larger jets fly it non-stop; light jets and turboprops may stop en route.
Check entry for Zimbabwe and Zambia
If you plan to see both sides of the Falls, check the visa options for both countries for every passenger before you fly — and arrive on the side where most of your activities are.
Building the circuit
A common pattern is the Zanzibar coast or Nyerere National Park, then Victoria Falls, then Chobe or the Okavango. Ask the operator to price the legs together; one aircraft flying the whole circuit can beat separate charters once positioning is counted.
Which aircraft fits the route?
A Citation XLS+ or a super-midsize jet flies non-stop with room for luggage. A light jet with a fuel stop can suit a small group.
How to request a useful quote
Share the travel date, departure airport (Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar), passenger count and nationalities, baggage, the side of the Falls you are staying on and the rest of the itinerary. Ask whether positioning, fuel-stop handling, permits, parking and crew costs are included.
