Victoria Falls in May

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

Climate

May marks the beginning of the dry winter season with almost no rainfall and a drop in temperatures (nighttime lows go down to 11°C/52°F). Pack warm clothes to wear at night and in the early mornings.

This time of the year gets better for wildlife viewing

Highlights of the Month

May has terrific weather, with sunshine and blue skies. It’s a good time of year to travel to Victoria Falls to witness the astounding spectacle of a massive volume of water gushing down the gorge with a roar, although there’s less spray and mist than in March and April.
