Victoria Falls, one of nature’s greatest wonders, never truly sleeps, making it a great year-round destination. Here is a complete guide on the best time to visit the Falls from Zambia.
Autumn: March to May
With a full river and dramatic views of the Falls, this is arguably the best time to visit. Many photography enthusiasts visit Zambia during this time for the spectacular views, often staying at places like Royal Livingstone Victoria Falls Zambia Hotel by Anantara, conveniently located close to the Falls.
Winter: June to August
If you are looking for cool and dry weather, travelling from June to August is ideal. Although there is less spray, the Falls still flow during this period, offering clear and unobstructed views. This is a great period to enjoy other Victoria Falls, Zambia activities like luxurious steam train tours and safaris.
Spring: September to November
With the hot and dry weather, many travellers take refuge in the tranquillity of this season, although the water levels of the Falls are low. This is also a great opportunity to catch a glimpse of the stunning rock formations that are usually hidden during other seasons.

Summer: December to February
This is the best season to get a glimpse of a lunar rainbow that forms when the Falls catch the moonlight. Hot and humid weather during the day and thunderstorms at night make this a lush period to visit.
