    • Hotel Verde Cape Town Airport

  • Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe is served by Victoria Falls Airport (VFA), which is not currently a hub for any airlines. This airport also serves nearby towns like Matetsi and Livingstone across the border in Zambia.

This is because many of the airlines operating this route, such as fastjet and FlySafair, are low-cost airlines that don’t allow economy passengers to bring more than a personal item on board free of charge.
