Best Time To Visit Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe, a country located on a high plateau in Southern Africa holds a great variety of wildlife and wilderness. This country fills with low-lying semi-deserts to lush highlands. Its breathtaking beauty and lush landscapes attract thousands of tourists every year.

So, if you are also among thousands who are planning a safari in Zimbabwe, you should have some ideas about which is the best time to visit Zimbabwe. Let’s decode this topic.

The best time for the best safari experience

If you are looking for a great game-viewing experience then we would suggest you visit Zimbabwe between July and October. The reason is the lack of water. As the natural waterholes dry up all animals head up towards the lakes, artificial waterholes and rivers.

However, if you don’t have enough time for visiting Zimbabwe in the above months, don’t worry. You can opt for a Zimbabwe safari from November to March. This time you may not experience the best game viewing but you still can explore the country’s rich cultural history.

For an amazing view of Victoria Falls, we would recommend you for a Zimbabwe safari from April to June. This time the Falls flow in full and the view is breathtaking.
