Victoria Falls Through The Seasons

January, February and March fall in the height of the rainy season. The weather is hot and humid and you can expect afternoon rain and thunderstorms.

Victoria Falls becomes more intense with increased river flow and the ‘Smoke That Thunders’ rises high in the sky. Vic Falls is high – but not yet at full capacity. Take a look at the activities we recommend you try if you’re visiting in Jan, Feb or March.

This is when the water levels at Vic Falls are their highest, with an average of 750 million litres/minute. The “Smoke That Thunders” is at its most intense.

Some of our top activity recommendations:

Any Microlight Flights – fly through the ‘smoke’ of the Vic Falls.
Fishing Trips – days are starting to get cooler, so better fishing.
Makora Quest Canoeing – great bird life, cooler on the river in the daytime.
Horse riding – cooler days, the river and Vic Falls views are magnificent.
Bobo Camp Picnic – less chance of being rained out. Cooler weather and Vic Falls still high.

Another shift in seasons; the days are (mostly) dry and warm and wildlife congregates along the banks of the Zambezi – especially at dusk and dawn. Our most popular activities from August to December are as follows:

White water rafting 
Swimming under the Falls
Multi-day rafting trips
River safari cruises
Dinners and Sunset Cruise combo
