Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Victoria Falls?

Gross bookings per Victoria Falls listing averaged $11,161 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Zimbabwe average: $6,540), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

The average Victoria Falls listing brought in $2,720 in December, its best month, and $825 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 36% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $3,230+ a month, about 2.7 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,070 or more, roughly $890 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,180 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $549 or less, about half of the median.

These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

December earned about 3.3 times what February did

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Victoria Falls Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Victoria Falls Airbnb took in $11,161 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $650 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about $1,150 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $610 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $700 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $560 a month.

These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

Estimate Your Own Victoria Falls Airbnb Profit

The estimate starts from Victoria Falls's average listing, run by its owner. Change how the listing performs, who runs it and who cleans to see what is left for the mortgage or rent.

To work out the profit on one Victoria Falls home, with its price, its mortgage or rent and your own costs, use the Airbnb income calculator. It starts from the comparable listings around the address.

How Victoria Falls's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Victoria Falls listings are booked on 40% or more of their nights, against 25% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $135 adds about $1,350 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $215 a night or more, against a median of $135. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about $1,060 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. December brought the average listing about $2,720, against $825 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Victoria Falls listings average 4.72 stars, and 20% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.

What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about $1,630 a month, against $930 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Victoria Falls
