Best Time to Visit
From wildlife safaris to cultural festivals, Zimbabwe captivates year-round.
Zimbabwe offers a range of attractions, from wildlife safaris to cultural festivals and natural wonders, and each season has its unique charm.
Many travellers consider the dry winter months, from May to October, the prime time to visit Zimbabwe. During this period, the weather is mild, and the landscapes are arid, making it an excellent time for wildlife safaris. Game viewing is at its peak, especially in national parks like Hwange and Mana Pools, as animals gather around water sources. Victoria Falls is also more impressive in the dry season as the water volume is reduced, allowing for clearer views.
The green season, from November to April, brings refreshing rains, transforming the landscapes into lush, vibrant greenery. While this period might not be ideal for game viewing, it's a fantastic time for birdwatching and experiencing Zimbabwe's natural beauty at its most colourful. Since there are fewer tourists during this time, accommodations are more affordable, making it a great option for budget travellers.
Are you interested in cultural festivals and local events? Then, consider planning your visit to coincide with festivals like the Harare International Festival of the Arts (HIFA) in April or the traditional Jikinya Dance Festival. These events offer a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Zimbabwe and provide unique opportunities for engaging with local communities.
Zimbabwe offers fantastic experiences throughout the year. Whether it's wildlife viewing, cultural immersion, or simply taking in the stunning landscapes, Zimbabwe has something to offer every season.

From the time I contacted Goway until now, I have been more than satisfied with our experience. Our agent Michael put together a 8 day package with all the requirements we had asked for. The 8 day trip went so seamless & took all the stress off us travelling in Portugal. Michael not only listened to what we wanted, but he was so quick to respond to all of our calls, emails & concerns. The transfers, hotels & tours he arranged were the best. We would highly recommend Goway. I can hardly wait to book our next adventure with Goway. CathyMichael Keon from Goway Travel made our family trip to Greece memorable. Michael was a call or email away when planning our Greece trip and worked with us on our tight budget. Every detail was worked out for us before we got on the plane.
Shout out to Nico, one of our drivers in Mykonos and all the great expeditions we went on.
I highly recommend Goway Travel to plan your next vacation adventures.
Jacqueline G. Jacqueline GarrettI just returned from a wonderful trip to Sweden and Norway. I had the good fortune of working with Michael Keon who helped me plan and customize an interesting and balanced itinerary.
All of the logistics went well, flights, transfers, hotels in great locations, travel between destinations, fjord safaris, cruises and guided tours with knowledgeable guides to inform and make the experience even more memorable.
Michael was responsive to all of my questions and made it so easy to both prepare for and ultimately enjoy the trip.
Looking forward to planning the next one!GailJust got back from a fabulous safari holiday in Tanzania. The trip was amazing! Exceeded my expectations. The people, the local team at Sense of Africa, the food, the accommodations (Karibu camps: Elephant Springs+Lion’s Paw and Sametu), the safari from the sky (hot air balloon)… I can keep going. Perfect way to celebrate my 50th bday.
Thanks again to Alice Teramoto and Goway for making this happen! Truly a trip of a lifetimeKARISSA CARRASQUILLOI have had Melissa Moses plan our trips for us for quite a few years. She always finds interesting sights for us to see, the hotels are always beautiful and everything runs perfectly. Can't wait to get started on the next adventure.

I would highly recommend him as a travel agent, and we will be using him again
Kevin BourkeKatie's knowledge and support were the primary reason the trip worked so well.
