Notes
Victoria Falls offers varying experiences throughout the year. The best views of the falls can be seen as the floods recede, but during the dry season (November-December), the falls may reduce to small rivulets, with some parts having no water at all. Guests are encouraged to book a tour of the Zimbabwean side during this period for the best views.
