Best Time for the Victoria Falls & Chobe
Sweet spot: April, May, June — computed from NASA POWER climate normals across the route's overnight towns, balancing temperature, rainfall and daylight.
The falls peak after the rains — expect to be soaked on the knife-edge bridge; flights of angels indeed.
Low water opens Devil's Pool on the Zambian lip and Chobe's riverfront packs with elephants.
