March Brings Victoria Falls to Life with Peak Flows and Unforgettable Experiences
-
March is an outstanding time to visit Victoria Falls, located on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia. As the rainy season eases, the falls surge toward peak water levels, creating a powerful spectacle of roaring cascades, rising mist, and vivid rainbows. This shoulder season offers dramatic scenery with fewer crowds, making it ideal for travellers seeking both impact and comfort.
Daytime temperatures in March range from 26–30°C, with reduced rainfall compared to February. Occasional showers maintain the lush landscape, while easing humidity makes outdoor exploration more enjoyable. The swollen Zambezi River fuels an awe-inspiring flow, with mist clouds rising hundreds of meters above the gorge—especially impressive from ground-level viewpoints and aerial flights.
While high water levels limit activities such as white-water rafting and Devil’s Pool, March is perfect for scenic experiences, including helicopter flights and peaceful sunset cruises on the Zambezi River. Birdwatching is particularly rewarding, and nearby safari areas like Hwange National Park continue to offer wildlife encounters, despite denser vegetation.
Travellers benefit from better accommodation availability and attractive shoulder-season rates. With its peak flow, vibrant landscapes, and immersive atmosphere, March stands out as one of the most memorable times to experience Victoria Falls in all its natural grandeur.
