When Is the Best Time To Visit Zimbabwe?

The answer to the question of what is the best month to visit Zimbabwe depends on what you are interested in doing during your stay. Here you can see an overview of each month and its typical weather conditions.

Tourist Season in Zimbabwe

It's best to visit Zimbabwe in June, July, August, September and October - that's when you can count on very good weather all over the country.

Also, choosing months such as April and May is a good time to travel, but sometimes there may be weather conditions that make the visit difficult. We can expect worse weather in January, February, March, November and also in December, although the journey is possible, this is not the best time. The weather can then be very unpredictable, with a tendency to be bad.
