Vehicle Transfers

Cost U$ 30-00 Per Person from Livingstone to Bovu Island and return journey.

We collect you from your lodge, guest house, backpackers, Falls border post or Livingstone airport at approximately 14:00hrs. Arrival on Bovu Island is around 15:30hrs.

Departure from the Island is at 10:00hrs arriving back in Livingstone at 11:30hrs for drop off.

Our transfer vehicle is an old Land Cruiser pickup with mattresses in the back that you sit on and can comfortably fit 6 guests with their luggage.

We’ve been using this old Land Cruiser to ferry our guests for the past 20 years and it’s a fun way to view the surroundings. It’s just over an hour’s journey between Livingstone and the Island.

Night watchman for self drive vehicles

We can arrange a night watchman to look after your vehicle on the mainland during the nights that you are with us. This costs U$3-50 per night and we will supply his evening meal. This payment is added to your bill, payable upon departure form the island. You do not need to give the money directly to the watchman. There is no need for a watchman during the day as your vehicle is parked outside a homestead.
