Unfortunately going to Victoria Falls is not cheap.
As I mentioned before Canadians can get a visa at the border but it is single entry and cost US$75, most other nations needing to pay for a visa at the border are charged around US$35.
Entrance to the Rain Forest (the only way to see the Falls from land) single entry is US$30, or 240 Rands.
Fifteen minutes in the helicopter is US$130.
What they call "Sundowner cruise" is US$45 plus US$10 for "park entrance".
A no frill dinner, one course, with no drinks will cost you about ZAR200 (about 25US$) per person
This brings to mind the all money thing in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe has no official currency. Mostly US dollars are used but they will also accept South African Rands. Getting change is always a problem and I even was given change in Pula (the currency of Botswana). This to me would indicate that they accept Pulas, but good luck with that!
If you plan to go to Victoria Falls to get the best view you pretty much need to get on the Zim side in which case I recommend taking US dollars in small bills. Take with you a ridiculous amount of one and five dollar bills. I truly truly cannot emphasize this enough.
