Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Zambia is during the dry season from May to October, when wildlife gathers around rivers and waterholes, making safari viewing easier. Water levels at Victoria Falls vary throughout the year, with peak flow usually between February and May creating the most dramatic views and spray.
