Default Victoria Falls

Is it better to do Victoria Falls from Zambia or from Zimbabwe?
Criteria I can think of is the appearance of the falls (ie, does one
side provide a superior view as compared with the other) and what to
do/see nearby.

Cheers,
Leo

Have $50 to $75 in your budget so you can
take one of the short flights.

During my visit (some years ago), it was possible to cross the border and
look at both sides.
I liked the ultra light flight above the falls a lot. I walked from Zimbabwe
across the border and was picked up by a car.

This is also on of the best places for rafting (this starts also on the
Zambian side).

Other things to do :
night cruise on the river.
visit a crocodile farm.
game walk

I went to Vic Falls in Feb stayed at Shoestrings backpackers. Walked
across the bridge to the Zambian side and back no problem
