Nature has given Zimbabwe one of the finest climates in the world which is warm without being oppressive and with a daily average sunshine ranging from four to ten hours all year round. Generally the days are bright and sunny, while the nights are cool and clear. November to April are summer months (rainy season) while winter is from May to July. Winter is generally dry.

The magnificent spectacle of Africa’s wildlife is another factor in Zimbabwe’s tourist success. No one can fail to be moved or excited by the sight of a herd of elephants moving with a ponderous grace to a waterhole, or rolling in mud-baths like children at play; a lion moving stealthily in pursuit of its prey, herd of skittish wildbeast of neat zebra, or the seesaw gallop of giraffe.

The world renowned Victoria Falls, which the local Kololo tribe call Mosioa-tunya (the smoke that thunders) are one of Africas scenic enchanting sights. They were named after Queen Victoria by the first white man to see them, explorer David Livingstone in 1855. When local people showed him 5,45 million liters of water plunging every minute into a 100 meter deep chasm, David Livingstone was overwhelmed by their splendour and he immediately christened them after his queen. At the falls the Zambezi River is over 1,6 km wide, and plunges into a 106 m deep chasm, which runs across the path of the river.
