The Best Time to Visit Victoria Falls per Season <\/h2>\n

Also known locally as “Mosi-oa-Tunya”, meaning “The Smoke That Thunders”, Victoria Falls is a year-round destination, with each season bringing its own unique flavour. The main seasons are broken up into<\/span> <\/b><\/span>high water season<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, <\/span><\/strong>low water season<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, <\/span>summer<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, <\/strong><\/span>winter<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, and <\/strong><\/span>peak safari season<\/strong><\/span><\/a>,<\/strong> with some seasons overlapping. <\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>best time to visit Victoria Falls<\/span><\/strong> if you want to see it at its most impressive is between <\/span>February and May<\/span><\/strong>, as the summer rains have turned it into a cascading spectacle, visible and audible from far away. <\/span><\/p>\n

When deciding when to visit Victoria Falls, you have to keep in mind that some activities, like swimming in <\/span>Devil’s Pool<\/span><\/a>, visiting Livingstone Island, and white water rafting, are seasonal as they’re only possible when the water levels are lower. And although there’s the best time for most activities, you should not discount those in-between seasons that are not as popular as they can offer a “sweet spot” of great benefits like better availability, lower rates, and a less crowded experience. <\/span><\/p>\n
