Zimbabwe enjoys a subtropical climate, and temperatures are relatively suitable for travel every month of the year. The summer season lasts from November to February and is cloudier, rainier, and warmer. Winters are from June to October and are sunny, dry, and cool.

If you are hoping to see wildlife, you should book your trip some time between July and October. The dry weather means that animals will congregate at watering holes, making it easy to spot amazing species.

The best time to visit Victoria Falls, on the other hand, is between February and May. These are the months when the rainy season has concluded and the falls are running as powerfully as possible, creating an impressive visual spectacle.

The season from November to January is a period of low traffic in Zimbabwe in terms of travel. If you're hoping to dodge the crowds at major landmarks and parks, this is when you should go. November is also the best month for bird watching in Zimbabwe!
