View ItineraryWhen is the best time to visit Victoria Falls?
The best time to visit Victoria Falls depends on whether you prioritise powerful water flow, clearer waterfall views or nearby safari activities. Higher water brings dramatic spray, while lower water changes the viewing experience, so choose dates around your preferred activities and which side of the falls you plan to visit.
Answered by the Fair Trade Safaris team · Last reviewed
Victoria Falls changes significantly with the Zambezi River’s seasonal flow.
During higher water: The volume and spray can be spectacular, although spray may obscure parts of the waterfall.
As water levels fall: Some viewpoints become clearer, while sections of the waterfall may become less substantial, particularly on the Zambian side.
Water-dependent activities operate according to conditions and safety assessments. Confirm availability rather than assuming rafting or other river experiences run throughout the year.
If combining the falls with Chobe or another safari destination, balance waterfall conditions with the wildlife season and your overall route.
