Featured Adventures
Best Time to Visit
The dry season from May to October is generally the best time to visit Zimbabwe for safaris, with wildlife easier to spot around rivers and waterholes. Victoria Falls is most powerful between February and May following the rainy season, while lower water levels later in the year can improve visibility into the gorge.
