December - April

The month of December is considered summertime in Zimbabwe, the days are warm and humid followed by afternoon rain showers that create lush verdant landscapes. This time of year is great for birdwatching as well as other unique wildlife viewing and great scenery. This is a quieter time of year when lodges and game parks are less crowded, and safaris are not as busy.

The month of January is a rainy month, the dense bush makes it harder to spot wildlife. It is not a recommended time to visit Victoria Falls as it is the low-water season. This is the time to take advantage of lower rates and less crowds. February is still part of the wet season, when the water level of the Zambezi River is high, meaning Victoria Falls is now in full flow. A helicopter ride or microlight flight is the best way to truly appreciate the sheer size and beauty of the Falls.

March in Zimbabwe brings warm, humid weather and frequent afternoon thunderstorms, usually short bursts that last a few hours. The water levels of Victoria Falls are perfect this month, especially the gorges that surround the famous falls, a phenomenal attraction as well as the famous spray rainbows.
