Most parks offer year-round wildlife viewing, but they are at their best during the dry season when wildlife is easier to spot. Hwange is best visited in September-October when it is a magnet for big elephant herds. Photo opportunities of Victoria Falls are best between May and December. The rainy season is a beautiful time in Zimbabwe and excellent for birdwatching, but the roads in some places can be a problem, especially the 4x4 tracks in Mana Pools.
