When to Visit Zambezi River

To catch the Zambezi at its best, visit from July to October for premier wildlife viewing as animals gather at the water’s edge. If your goal is to witness the thundering power of Victoria Falls, aim for March to May when the river is at peak flow. For thrill-seekers, the low-water season from August to December is the prime time for white-water rafting and swimming in the famous Devil’s Pool.
