Best time to travel to Zimbabwe

Discover the ideal time to visit Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is a country of breathtaking landscapes, diverse wildlife, and rich cultural heritage. The best time to visit Zimbabwe largely depends on what you wish to experience. Generally, the dry season, which runs from May to October, is considered the most favorable time for travel.

Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, is best visited between June and September. During this period, the water levels are lower, providing clearer views of the falls and making activities like white-water rafting more exciting.

Temperatures during these months range from 10° to 25°, making it comfortable for outdoor exploration.

For wildlife enthusiasts, Hwange National Park is a must-visit. The dry season from July to October is ideal for game viewing as animals gather around waterholes. Temperatures in Hwange during this time are typically between 15° and 28°.

If you are interested in bird watching, the rainy season from November to April is perfect. Mana Pools National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, becomes lush and vibrant, attracting a myriad of bird species.

However, be prepared for higher temperatures ranging from 20° to 30° and occasional rain showers.

Harare, the capital city, is pleasant to visit year-round but is most enjoyable from May to August when temperatures are moderate, ranging from 12° to 24°.

In summary, the best time to visit Zimbabwe is from May to October for most activities, with specific locations offering unique experiences throughout the year.
