Peak season:

The months of July and August are when Victoria Falls is at its busiest. Although this falls during this region’s winter period, temperatures still reach up to 30°C and weather conditions are sunny and dry. Of course a trip to Victoria Falls itself is not a ‘dry’ experience. Water levels drop during the peak season, which provides for excellent visibility. Cheap flights to Victoria Falls during these months will be difficult to find, unless flight tickets are booked very far in advance.

Off season:

There is no definite off peak season. It depends on whether travellers who fly to Victoria Falls are looking to see the falls when water levels are at their highest or whether they would like to get better visibility. Summer is its rainy season. In January and February, a number of attractions are closed due to high water levels. During this period, it is therefore easier to get cheap flights to Victoria Falls.
