Join us on a journey through the four distinct seasons at Victoria Falls, each revealing its own splendors and providing a diverse range of experiences for the discerning traveler.

  1. Summer (November – March): The Power of the Rains

As summer unfolds, Victoria Falls enters a season of abundance and raw power. November marks the onset of the rainy season, transforming the landscape into a lush green haven.
