Expert Planning
Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, offers a breathtaking experience that combines the grandeur of its cascading waters with the thrill of a safari. Straddling the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning 'The Smoke That Thunders'. The falls are a spectacle to behold, with water plunging over a cliff face of more than a kilometer in width.
The best time to visit Victoria Falls depends on what you wish to experience. The waterfall is at its fullest from February to May, following the summer rains. However, if you aim to combine your visit with a safari, the dry season from June to October is ideal for wildlife viewing.
| Month | Water Levels | Wildlife Viewing |
|---|---|---|
| February - May | High | Moderate |
| June - August | Moderate | Excellent |
| September - October | Low | Excellent |
Tip: For a balance of activities and scenery, visit between May and September.
