I hear there are some tent camping things you can do, but don't know much about them. Before you get all excited about Vic Falls, you need to look up their current state, as I had heard the flow was greatly reduced at one time. The flow also varies a lot by the season. Your best bet is to get a good Africa travel agent. This is one of the few areas where a travel agent is really needed.

G adventures has many "camping" tours which are only a couple thousand for 20-30 days. Not sure how much of a budget you have. I just booked them and this is likely only the second time in my life that I have used a travel company. My hobby is planning and taking adventure travels. I agree with Carol though, this is one place I would not attempt on my own. I also see alot of adds for gate 1 and exoticaa which seem reasonable and reputable. You may be traveling among several countries and each one has visa rules so it is good to get all that advice from an expert. If you are US based and a AAA member they also have good resources and I do not think they cost anything.

Mike--that sounds ok for someone from South Africa, but fairly terrifying for some newbie from the States. I foresee lots of opportunities to put yourself in peril.
