Victoria Falls in September

Climate

September starts to get warmer – day time temperatures can be 33C, while night times are still a cool 15C. It’s still in the dry season though with usually no rainfall at all.

Highlights of the month

September is one of the best months of the year for visiting Victoria Falls: it’s not yet too hot, the falls are still flowing on both sides of the border and wildlife viewing and white-water rafting are excellent. It is busy though so you’ll pay high season rates and have to book ahead for lodging.
