In your opinion which month would be better to visit Victoria Falls?

Hi- We would like to visit Victoria Falls next year and have read most of the info on your website. We have decided that April, July & August sound like good months.

Of course we would like to see the falls when it has lots of water but also realise that taking photos would be difficult, so then we decided that July could be a good time but is it not drying up then. We also considered August because there used to be a half marathon that started at Vic falls but we are not sure that it is still run?

We are interested in viewing & photographing the falls (of course!), doing the half marathon, game viewing, bungee jumping and the high wire.

Your advice would be most appreciated.

Thanks

 Best months to visit Victoria Falls
by: Tony

Hi Cynthia - Just to give you a heads up on the months you have chosen.
April is at the end of the rainy season. The Falls are at their peak and very very full. Quite hard to see much from the ground but great from the air. Hard to photograph due to all the spray, but impressive in power. Lovely temperatures day and night, only slight chance of rain.

July- Zambezi water level dropping so visibility a bit better, spray being reduced. Game viewing slightly better now as water in some areas starts to dry up. Can get very cold at night. It is mid winter after all.

August - would be my recommendation - water level have dropped so there is still tons of water and it is very impressive but viewing and photography much better. Game viewing is nearly at its best as inland water is drying up and animals congregate at the river. Summer migrant birds start to arrive late August and early September. Beautiful time of year.
Temperatures are nice and warm.
The marathon and half marathon do definitely still exist. I will be posting something very soon about this years one. If you follow us on Facebook you will receive updates about this.

Bunji and High wire can be done at any time of year
