If Kariba is the launching point into the Zambezi Valley, what is the best way to get into Kariba?

From Harare/Victoria Falls/Hwange The first option to save time is the daily flight. Options from Harare The Blue Arrow luxury coach should be given serious consideration if you have time. At Z$235 in a reliable, luxury bus over 5 hours, four days a week - it's a convenient steal! If you have your own or a hired vehicle, the drive is a safe four hours. Watch out for game on the 77km Makuti - Kariba stretch. Options from Victoria Falls The Kariba Ferry over 22 hours between Milibizi and Kariba could save you the "back road" to Kariba via Binga and Karoi. If you're a backpacker you need to plan for hitching between Milibizi and Victoria Falls. The "back road" to Kariba via Binga and Karoi requires a 4 x 4 vehicle. An option is the route via Livingstone and Siavonga over 6,5 hours - the road is bad for about 80km around Choma - it's safe.
