Victoria Falls
Highlights
Best Time to Visit
Victoria Falls is spectacular year-round, but the experience varies dramatically by season. **February to May** is peak flow — the falls thunder at full volume with spray visible from 30km away, though mist can obscure views. **August to December** (low water) reveals the rock face and allows activities like the Devil's Pool swim on the Zambian side. **June to August** offers a good balance of flow and visibility. Lunar rainbows are visible during full moon nights when spray is sufficient.
