Victoria Falls: No more free re-entry visa (Zimbabwe)

For many years tour companies and the immigration officials on the Zimbabwean side of the Victoria Falls had an agreement that that when clients go to Zambia or Botswana for a day they would be eligable for a free re entry visa into Zimbabwe. However it was just an agreement between the two parties to encourage free movement of tourist as Zimbabwe by law does not have a free re entry visa. This was stopped now. Ok, it is the law, but it was IMO not a good move as tourism in Victoria Falls is now beginning to recover from at least two terrible years for the industry!
