When to Go

Dry Season (May–October): Peak safari and game viewing season

Green Season (November–April): Great for birding, dramatic skies, and fewer travellers

Victoria Falls Peak Flow: March–May; at its most powerful and photogenic


Why It Matters

Zimbabwe’s experiences change with the seasons. Dry season offers peak wildlife activity and access to remote camps, while green season is ideal for photographers and travellers looking for a lush, quiet escape. Understanding this rhythm ensures journeys are both impactful and rewarding.

We’ll help you pick the perfect season.

Know Before You Go

  • Connectivity: Some remote camps offer limited Wi-Fi—perfect for digital detox.

Why It Matters

Zimbabwe’s remote luxury lodges and wild parks reward the prepared traveller. Smart packing and health awareness help guests focus on what matters: immersive game drives, quiet luxury, and the roar of the falls. Respecting environmental and cultural nuances ensures your visit supports sustainable travel.
