Zimbabwe FAQs

When is the best time to go to Zimbabwe?

Zimbabwe offers outstanding wildlife opportunities all-year round, making the best time to visit a matter of preference. A good time to visit Zimbabwe, especially for wildlife photography, is from May to October. This is the dry, winter season, when the temperature cools down and there is hardly any rainfall. Wildlife can be easily spotted due to sparse vegetation, and there is less of a risk of malaria during this period.

Why visit Victoria Falls?

There are countless reasons for you to visit Victoria Falls that don’t include the breathtaking scenery of the natural wonder. The largest waterfall in the world, Victoria Falls offers a variety of activities, such as bungee jumping and white rafting, which is the perfect place for adrenaline junkies and photographers alike. The town of Victoria Falls is also a great location for wildlife viewing, as there are a variety of national parks that offer game drives.

Can I get a visa on arrival in Zimbabwe?

Passport holders from many countries can receive a visa on arrival, including the US, EU countries, the UK, and Canada. Passport holders of certain countries may need to apply for a visa before traveling to Zimbabwe. Regardless of the visa process, obtaining a visa will come at a cost. We advise you to check online at the Zimbabwe consulate website of your country to find out how to prepare for your arrival.

What language is spoken in Zimbabwe?

Zimbabwe has 16 different languages that are spoken, but there are 3 languages that are the most widely spoken, while the rest only have a small fraction of the population that speaks those languages. The primary languages that you’ll encounter are Shona and Ndebele, as well as English, which is the Lingua Franca of Zimbabwe.
