LETS TALK ABOUTLUNAR CALENDAR A visit to the Victoria Falls is a romantic extension to a safari. This is a place where the lunar or moonbow can be witnessed when the moon is full giving you the most adoring sights you can ever experience over the Victoria Falls in the night. A moonbow is created in the same way a rainbow is, water refracting through water droplets, but the effect is completely different.

This is the ideal time to take “The Flight of the Angels” and view the Falls from a couple of hundred feet above. The white-water rafting is at its peak at this time of the year. Mid-season flow: January February; June, July and August These months are the best viewing months of the Falls because there’s still plenty of water, but the spray doesn’t obliterate the view. These five months are probably the best time to see a moonbow (full moon only). It is important to note January, February and March are rainy season at Victoria
