Victoria Falls - from VFA (Zimbabwean side) or LVI (Zambian side) ?

Planning a trip to Victoria Falls, and originally planning to stay on the Zimbabwean side given the larger range of selection of accomodation. However it appears that the flights to/from VFA are fully booked and can only get flights to/from LVI.

1) In general, when you arrive at LVI, what is the logistics of transfer to the Zimbabwean side and also, what about the transfer from hotel to LVI ?

1a) Is transfer between VFA and Zimbabwean side of the falls in general much easier ?

2) When you cross into Zambia by land from Zimbabwe, does one pay a day visa pass of US$20 ? (Deciding whether to get a multiple visa at LVI)

3) Should I decide to go to Chobe National Park in Botswana on a day trip, does it matter whether you depart from Zimbabwean side or Zambian side of the falls ? (I'm just wondering how many border crossings there are on a day trip.

(FYI - I'm visa free for Zimbabwe and Botswana, but not for Zambia.)
