When to go to Zimbabwe + Victoria Falls

Zimbabwe has a hot sub-tropical climate.
 
The best time to visit Zimbabwe for game viewing is during the cooler months from May to October, as the bushveld is dry and animals must come to the rivers and waterholes to drink. In Mana Pools, the trees bear fruit in June and July when elehants stand on their hind feet to feed.
 
Victoria Falls has the greatest water flow from February to June, following the summer rains.
 
Birding is best from November to March (the hot, wet summer) as this is when the migrants visit.  This is also the birthing season when the landscape is lush and green.
