The best time to visit Zimbabwe runs from mid May to August, in fact, it is the coolest and sunniest, and with almost no rain, even though it can get cold at night, especially above 1,500 meters (5,000 feet). Usually, by mid August, the temperature begins to rise, and cold nights become less likely. In September and October, the heat can be intense during the day, although nights remain cool at high altitude. The rainiest and muggiest period runs from December to February. This is the time best to view the majestic Mutarazi Falls and those interested in river rafting.
