Zimbabwe is the falls, and the wild river country either side of it.
Victoria Falls anchors it, but the game country along the Zambezi is the reason to stay.
Why come here.
Victoria Falls is the headline, and it earns it, but Zimbabwe rewards the traveller who stays for the game country along the Zambezi. Hwange holds some of the largest elephant herds on the continent, and Mana Pools allows the walking and canoeing safaris that few other parks do.
It pairs naturally with Botswana and the Cape, and the guiding here belongs to one of the oldest and most respected traditions on the continent.
When to goThe month matters more than the map.
The dry months from July to October concentrate the game and are the best for safari. The falls are at their most thunderous from around February to May, after the rains, though the spray can veil the view. For the balance of both, aim for the middle of the year.
