Why Visit Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe)?

Where the Smoke Thunders and Adventure Awaits

A guided or unguided tour of the falls on the Zimbabwe side, the longer of the two, takes around two hours. Victoria Falls is an extremely popular destination due to the amazing amount of activities on offer, making it suitable for every type of traveller. Take a helicopter flight or a microlight over the falls for a breath-taking bird's-eye view of Mosi-oa-Tunya - 'The Smoke That Thunders’ or go white-water rafting downstream of the falls for what is considered the best one-day white water rafting in the world. Adrenaline junkies can also gorge swing and bungee jump from Livingstone Bridge.

​For a more sedate experience, canoe the tranquil waters of the Zambezi upstream from the falls to see hippos, crocs, and, if you are lucky, a raft of elephants crossing to the islands in the middle, or take a sundowner cruise with a wildlife guide and observe the life on the river banks whilst enjoying nibbles and sipping a G&T. For more olfactive delights, High Tea at Victoria Falls Hotel, the oldest hotel in the country and a colonial classic, is a must, as is dinner at Jungle Junction. You can browse the outdoor craft market, have dinner on the rails on board the Bushtracks Express, or look for rhinos in the Stanley and Livingstone Game Reserve.

Best Times to Visit Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe)

Seasons of Thunder, Mist, and Majesty

Victoria Falls, or Mosi-oa-Tunya — “The Smoke That Thunders” — is one of the most awe-inspiring natural wonders on Earth. On the Zimbabwean side, visitors are treated to the most extensive views of the cascading curtain of water, framed by lush rainforest and endless rainbows. Each season brings its own kind of magic.

🌀 January – The Rising Waters

Early rains swell the river once more, breathing life back into the landscape and setting the stage for the falls’ dramatic transformation.

🌀 February to May – The Falls in Full Force

This is the best time to visit for sheer power and spectacle. The Zambezi River is at its peak, and the thunder of the falls reverberates through the gorge as plumes of mist rise high into the air, creating breathtaking rainbows.

🌀 June to August – Clear Views and Pleasant Weather

As the water level drops, visibility improves, revealing more of the rocky face and gorge. The weather is cooler and drier, perfect for walking trails and helicopter flights over the falls.

🌀 September to December – Adventure Season

Lower water levels mean thrilling experiences like swimming in Devil’s Pool and excellent white-water rafting conditions. It’s also the ideal time for photography, with golden sunsets and crisp, clear light.
