In the heart of Southern Africa’s wildest lands, Zimbabwe’s untamed beauty and sheer proximity of game make it a favorite among seasoned safari-goers. A Zimbabwe safari offers an enriching experience, from Hwange National Park’s vast herds of over 40,000 tusker elephants to Mana Pools—renowned for its world-class walking safaris—where Africa’s most skilled guides lead you into close encounters with elephants and wild dogs. Witness the spectacular thunder of Victoria Falls in full flood before cruising the mighty Zambezi at sunset, past dense pods of hippos and basking crocodiles, for a life-affirming experience.

Month-by-month guide
When to visit
Zimbabwe has distinct green and dry seasons. For avid safari-goers, the dry season, from June to October, offers thrilling game viewing, pleasant temperatures, and virtually no rain. However, for the most dramatic views of Victoria Falls, April and May are the best months when the falls are in full flow, although some safari camps may close during the rainy season.
