From mid May through to early August the days are warm and clear but the night time temperatures can drop below freezing. September through to May is generally hot in the day and warm at night, November to April is the rainy season.
The best time for game viewing is from August to October, water is scarce, the bush has died back and game congregates around the pumped waterholes. Birdlife is prolific during the rainy season, and although the game has dispersed due to readily available surface water, this is still a great time to experience game viewing in the National Parks as they hum with life.

Itinerary
Fly to Victoria Falls
Victoria Falls - the Zim side
Fly into Victoria Falls town, home to the magnificent UNESCO world heritage site, the raging Victoria Falls. Here you will spend three nights staying at the family owned Matetsi Victoria Falls set on a 15km stretch of the mighty Zambezi river. Matetsi Private Game reserve is an unspoiled wilderness home to herds of elephant, buffalo, and other plains game. Explore the reserve on 4x4 game drives, on romantic sun set boat cruises, and of course venture out to visit the ‘Smoke that Thunders’ with a private guide and enjoy the classic afternoon tea at the Victoria Falls Hotel as the mist from the falls rises in the distance.
Accommodation: Matetsi Victoria Falls ( 3 nights )

Placed high up on the escarpment with incredible views out over Lake Kariba, Bumi Hills boasts only ten stylishly appointed rooms which all have panoramic lake views, as well as an impressive infinity pool where you can relax in-between activities. Activities here include traditional safari game drives and walks but they also offer game viewing by boat as well as fishing for tilapia and tiger fish.
