The airport operates from a single passenger terminal that handles both domestic and international flights; arrivals and departures are in the same building with separate immigration and customs processing for international services. The layout is straightforward with check‑in, security and baggage claim all within close proximity, and ground transport concentrated just outside the terminal.

Livingstone town and many Victoria Falls lodges are roughly 10-20 minutes from the airport by road.

• Taxi: Taxis and hotel shuttles are the most common transfers; many hotels include pick‑up.
• Shuttle/private transfer: Tour operators and hotels provide timed transfers to accommodations and to the Falls.
• Car: Car rental desks are available at the terminal.
• Ride‑share: Ride‑share apps are not widely used; arrange transfers through hotels or local taxi operators.

Facilities are geared to tourists: visa on arrival counters, tourist information desks, small cafés and souvenir shops. Wi‑Fi is usually available but can be limited; charging points and basic seating are provided. There are no extensive lounge networks, but some airlines may provide small lounges or dedicated waiting areas. Accessibility and medical assistance can be arranged; larger services (major retail, numerous dining options) are found in Livingstone town.

There is no large on‑site international hotel at Harry Mwanga Nkumbula (Livingstone) airport; most lodges and hotels are in Livingstone town or near Victoria Falls (10-20 minutes’ drive). Many properties provide airport transfers; book these in advance. For very short layovers consider hotels in Livingstone that offer quick transfer times to the terminal.
