Victoria Falls is the largest water fall in the world as it is 1 708 meters wide, making it the largest curtain of water in the world. It drops between 90m and 107m into the Zambezi Gorge and an average of 550,000 cubic meters of water plummet over the edge every minute. The falls and the surrounding area have been declared National Parks and a World Heritage Site, that’s why the area is preserved from excessive commercialization. Mosi-oa-tanyia is the old name of Victoria Falls, which means "the Smoke that Thunders", illustrating the powerful forces of Victoria Falls. A number of Safaris pass through Victoria Falls. Flights to Victoria Falls have many other attractions to offer like; Zambezi River, Victoria Falls National Park, Knife Edge Bridge, and Victoria Falls Museum. read more

”When is the best time to go to Zimbabwe?” – a question many travellers ask, and the answer to this is often complex. It depends on many factors, including why you're travelling, exactly where you want to visit, and your personal interests. The 'best time to go' varies from person to person!
Below is a broad guide to the weather and climate of Zimbabwe; this comes from records and our experience. Please bear in mind that Africa's weather patterns are becoming more and more unpredictable, possibly due to global warming; unexpected weather conditions are no longer a rarity – we're seeing rainstorms in the middle of deserts, and dryness when rains should be falling.
In Zimbabwe, the rains come principally in December, January, February and March; the further north you are, the earlier the precipitation arrives and the later it leaves. Zimbabwe's higher eastern areas usually receive more rainfall than the lower-lying western ones.
By April and May most of the rain is gone, leaving a verdant setting, which is starting to dry out. Especially in more southerly and higher locations, the night-time temperatures start to drop.
The nights in June, July and August become much cooler, so don't forget to bring some warmer clothes, in case you want to spend a night outside; the days are still clear and warm. For Zimbabwe, this is the start of the 'peak season'– days are often cloudless and game sightings continually increase.
Into September and October the temperatures rise once again: Zimbabwe's lower-lying rift valley – Mana Pools – can get very hot in October. During this time, you'll see some fantastic game, as the Zimbabwe's wildlife concentrates around the limited water sources.
November is unpredictable; it can be hot and dry, it can also see the season's first rainfalls – and in this respect it's a very interesting month, as on successive days, you can see both weather patterns. The reason most people visit Zimbabwe is for the game parks, which are best visited in the dry winter season, since animals congregate around waterholes and make easy viewing.
Avoid national parks from mid-April to mid-May and mid-July to mid-September, December and early January – these are the periods of South African and Namibian school holidays, and parks can be quite a crush.
Winter is also the best weather for traveling - temperatures hover agreeably between 13º and 20 ºC, although they can drop to below-freezing levels during nighttime. Summers (November to April) can get uncomfortably hot and humid in some parts, but the landscape is lusher and altogether more exciting at this time.
The best time to visit Victoria Falls is between September and November. During March and April, when the water volume is at its peak, the falls create so much mist that they are difficult to see, and from May to September the mist adds to the season's high humidity.
