Zimbabwe in February

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

February is another month with poor wildlife viewing but excellent birding opportunities. However, the upside is that there is occasional sunshine during the day, so it’s not all rain this month.

This is an excellent time for photographers looking to capture unique images. Bigger wildlife are also visible in the thick vegetation, while smaller game life is less visible.

Mana Pools National Park may not be the best place to visit now. It can be muddy, making getting around difficult.

The country is famous for its elephant and big cat sightings, so there’s always a chance you will see them.

Like Namibia, Zimbabwe is teeming with history, heritage, and ancient rock art dating back to the pre-middle Stone Ages. You’re in for a treat having a holiday here.

Weather in February

February has a mix of rainy weather and sunshine, making outdoor activities more feasible. Temperatures often reach a high of 29 degrees Celsius, so even though it rains, the weather tends to be humid.

Temperature Celsius Fahrenheit Rainfall
Min 18℃64℉126 mm
Max 29℃84℉255 mm

Highlight Park to Visit in February

Hwange National Park

While at its best in the dry season, Hwange National Park can still be enjoyed in February.

Birding is a popular activity this month, and baby animals are great to see during the wet season. Capturing the moments between animals and their young is a unique experience compared to game drives in the dry season.

On your birding safari, spot species like the Bradfield’s hornbill, crimson-breasted shrike, magpie shrike, red-billed francolin, and secretary bird.

Activities to do in February

  • Birding
