The best time to visit Zimbabwe is in the dry season between May and September. At this time game viewing is at its best as animals flock to waterholes and Victoria Falls views are at their most impressive.
The full power of Victoria Falls can be experienced from March to May after which water levels fall until November when rivulets remain and the cliffs which form the falls can be appreciated.

Zimbabwe Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Naomi Fellows
At certain times of year Victoria Falls has the rare phenomenon of a rainbow at night time using the light of the full moon! The dates can be predicted in advance with a couple of nights offering the opportunity.
Georgia Buckland
Hwange National Park is one of the few national parks in Zimbabwe that is home to the Big 5. It has a varied landscape so when you're looking for wildlife it's still interesting. There are a few man made watering holes which are needed as it gets very dry in the summer, and this makes it easy to spot wildlife.
Jennifer Morris
Lake Kariba is a must see on a trip to Africa, stunning sunsets, amazing views... it really is a nature lovers dream and hard to believe it's man made! A truly relaxing part of your trip.
