Zimbabwe has reopened the Victoria Falls land border with Zambia for fully vaccinated tourists to allow the smooth flow of tourists between the two neighboring countries.

The development follows the successful rollout of a vaccination program that has seen more than 60 percent of residents in the border town of Victoria Falls being vaccinated.

Victoria Falls town is home to the mighty Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe's prime tourist destination, and one of the world's seven natural wonders.

The adjacent Kazungula border post with neighboring Botswana has also been opened, with the majority of visitors being vaccinated.

However, despite the reopening of tourist activities in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe remains under Level 4 lockdown and other land borders remain closed.

Earlier this week, following requests from players in the tourism sector, the cabinet resolved to reopen the two border posts to allow tourist activities to resume between the countries.
