The same thundering falls seen from the rainforest side that gets you properly soaked, one of Africa's great elephant herds gathering at Hwange's waterholes in the dry season, and a walking safari tradition every bit as serious as its neighbour Zambia's.
The best time to visit Hwange & the Zimbabwean side of Victoria Falls is May–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 29°C (83°F).
