Best time to visit Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe has a tropical climate with many variations throughout its various cities and towns. With mild temperatures and virtually no rain, the arid months from May to October is considered to be the best time to visit Zimbabwe if you wish to go game-viewing. The artificial waterholes attract incredible animals in Hwange. Keep in mind that September and October are extremely hot and dry. Victoria Falls should be visited in the rainy summer season. The best time to go is between April and May when the falls are flowing viciously. For cheap flights to Zimbabwe, consider the summer months (November to March), as it is low season which means lower rates in the cities.
