The Victoria Falls has two main ‘viewing seasons’ and depending on the time of year, you may fall anywhere in between these two. The peak flood season takes place during March and April and is ideal if you’d like to see the falls in their full glory. Masses of water cascade down into the river below creating a magnificent cloud of spray around the area. During the height of the flood season, this cloud can be seen from 80km away! As a result, the full magnitude of the falls cannot be viewed in its entirety from afoot. We therefore recommend you take a helicopter ride or, if you’re really brave a microlite flight for breathtaking aerial views.
As we approach the dry season between November and December, the amount of water that passes over the falls decreases until only small rivers of water can be seen, but as a result the view from below becomes increasingly impressive. One can really begin to appreciate the scope and magnificence of the falls during this period.

Zimbabwe’s and Zambia’s seasons fall on very similar months, give or take a month. Zimbabwe’s winter lasts a month or so longer (May to September/October vs. Zambia’s May to August), while its rainy season starts and ends a month earlier than Zambia’s (November to March vs. Zambia’s December to April).

Travel and Wild life
The Zimbabwean winter months are much more pleasant than the hot summer months, making them ideal for travelling and game viewing. But don’t be deceived – the winter nights can become surprisingly cold (temperatures can drop below freezing). Make sure to pack a jersey or jumper for early mornings and evenings. The days are ideal for game viewing as the animals tend to congregate near water holes and are therefore more easily observed.

Water sports
For river rafters and other water sport enthusiasts, the best time of year falls between August and December when the levels of the mighty Zambezi River are low.

Crowds
During the South African school holidays (mid-April to mid-May and mid-July to mid-September) the tourist sites and national parks are quite crowded. December and early January are slightly better (Namibian school holidays) but the best time is in June when the weather is also pleasantly cool.
