When is the best time to see the Victoria Falls?
Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, is a year-round destination. However, the water levels vary throughout the year, being at their highest between April and June, and their lowest from October to December. Viewing the Victoria Falls at different times of the year offers different experiences – in high flow its entire length is a thundering wall of falling water with limited visibility so it is best seen from a helicopter flight, whereas in low flow the underlying structure can be seen, and visibility is clearer.
Is there malaria in Victoria Falls?
Victoria Falls, has made huge progress in the fight against malaria, with very few local cases reported. Most infections are contracted outside the region, and there have been no malaria-related deaths here in the past three years. Thanks to government efforts -spraying homes, distributing mosquito nets, and community education - the risk remains low. However, malaria has not been eradicated, so visitors are still advised to take prophylactics year-round, especially between August and February, and to wear long sleeves and pants in the evenings.
