Best time to visit:

• The dry season (June to October) is generally the best time to visit Zimbabwe for safaris, as the wildlife is more concentrated around water sources and the vegetation is less dense. However, the green season (November to March) can also be a good time to visit, as the landscape is lush and there is a chance of seeing newborn animals.
