Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
Here is what to know before booking a flight to Victoria Falls from Montreal.
From Montreal, fares to Victoria Falls usually run between $2000 and $2600. The best fare spotted recently is $1974 (about 7% below the typical price).
Victoria Falls is a small Zimbabwean town wrapped around one of the natural wonders of the world, where the Zambezi River crashes over a mile-wide cliff in a roar of spray. The mist rises high enough to be seen for miles, feeding a rainforest of its own along the gorge. Stand at the edge, feel the ground tremble, and you will never forget it!
When to go
For the fullest, most thunderous flow, visit from February to May just after the rains. The dry months from June to October bring clearer views, lower water, and the chance to swim near Devil's Pool at the lip of the falls. October is hot before the rains, so plan around the heat.
Getting there from Montreal
There is no nonstop from eastern Canada, so plan an overnight Atlantic crossing and at least two connections. Typical routings go through a European hub such as Amsterdam, Frankfurt, or Istanbul, or a Gulf hub like Doha or Dubai, into Johannesburg, then a short flight to Victoria Falls. Total travel time is long, so allow for a full day or more.
What to see and do
- Victoria Falls itself
- A Zambezi River sunset cruise
- Devil's Pool at the edge of the falls
- The bridge for bungee and the gorge views
Good to know before you go
The US dollar is widely used here, so bring small, clean bills; local currency circulates too but USD keeps things simple. The town is small and walkable, and most visitors rely on taxis and hotel transfers, since ride-hailing apps are limited; tour operators handle the falls, cruises, and activities. English is the main working language; it is a relaxed tourist town, but watch for opportunistic monkeys and keep valuables secure.
