Each season offers a different way to experience the Falls and the bush.
Green season
Rain brings greener scenery and rising river levels. The Falls build toward their dramatic high-water months.
Powerful Falls
High water can bring tremendous volume and spray; viewpoints may be misty, especially around peak flow.
Safari season
Dry conditions make Hwange a rewarding time for game viewing, as wildlife gathers near reliable water sources.
River levels and wildlife conditions vary with rainfall each year.

Botswana
Follow the river into Chobe.
Just beyond Victoria Falls, Chobe offers a different view of the region: riverfront landscapes, abundant wildlife and time on the water.
Riverfront and wildlife

Discover the Chobe Riverfront on a game drive or boat cruise, with opportunities to see elephants and other wildlife drawn to the water.
Seasonal guide

03 / Country
Zambia
Discover the Falls from Livingstone.
Across the river, Livingstone pairs another perspective of Victoria Falls with Zambezi experiences, local history and seasonal adventures.
Zambia’s gateway to the Falls
Livingstone
Explore Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, visit the Zambian side of the Falls and enjoy time on the Zambezi. Seasonal activities depend on river levels.
Seasonal guide
When to visit Livingstone
High water
The Falls become powerful and dramatic, with heavy spray at peak flow. March and April are often among the fullest months.
Lower water
As the river falls, more rock face becomes visible and some water-level-dependent activities may operate when conditions allow.
Access to Livingstone Island, pools and river activities changes with water conditions and operator guidance.
