When to go
This itinerary can be enjoyed year-round, though the best time to visit is the dry season (May–October) which is best for game viewing, easier drives, and wildlife spotting. The wet season (November–April) provides lush landscapes, dramatic Victoria Falls and excellent birding, though some roads may be wet or muddy.
