So, it was technically included, but could have just been optional by collecting slightly less money from us yesterday. For the rest of the tour, I was grateful to be escorted to the activities and not have to figure out logistics on my own. But, getting to Victoria Falls was a cinch and I welcomed the opportunity to do so independently. Our hotel was literally just a quick walk to the falls, along nice paved sidewalks and even separated pedestrian walkways like this one.
