Victoria Falls, one of the world’s most breathtaking natural wonders, is a must-visit destination for any traveler. But when is the best time to experience the mighty Falls in all their glory?
Weather and Water Flow
The Falls are at their peak water flow between February and May, making it the perfect time for:
- Witnessing the sheer force and spray of the Falls
- Taking a thrilling whitewater rafting trip
- Enjoying a scenic helicopter tour
However, this period also coincides with the wet season, bringing:
- Higher temperatures and humidity
- Increased mist, making photography challenging
Dry Season (June to October)
If you prefer milder weather and clearer views, visit during the dry season:
- Enjoy comfortable temperatures (20-25°C/68-77°F)
- Take stunning photos with minimal mist
- Explore the surrounding national parks and wildlife
Shoulder Season (April to May and September to November)
For a balance of decent water flow and comfortable weather, consider the shoulder season:
- Avoid peak tourist season crowds
- Enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere
- Take advantage of lower prices for accommodations and tours
Best Time for Specific Activities
- Hiking and Camping: Dry season (June to October)
