Time your visit with Zimbabwe’s Weather
The best time to visit Zimbabwe to make the most of the fantastic safari on offer is during the dry season between June and October. Towards the end of this period, when water levels are at their lowest, animals converge around the water sources making for spectacular viewings. This is also a great time to see the Victoria Falls as there is reduced spray, meaning you can actually see the grandeur of the waterfall without getting soaked.
The Green Season runs from November to May with showers possible at any time throughout the day. The wettest period is between December and February. Several lodges and camps are closed during the wettest months. If camps are open, prices tend to be much lower. The wet season is also the calving season.
