Best time to visit Zimbabwe:

Dry Season (May to October): This period is the dry winter season and is often considered the best time to visit Zimbabwe. The weather is dry, and wildlife congregates around water sources, making it an excellent time for game viewing in national parks like Hwange and Mana Pools. The cooler temperatures during this time are also ideal for outdoor activities.
 
Wet Season (November to April): This period is characterized by the wet summer season. The landscape becomes lush and green due to the rainfall. While the wet season is less popular for tourists, it's a good time for birdwatching, and the scenery is vibrant. However, some roads might be impassable, and certain areas might be closed due to heavy rains.
