Zimbabwe's climate is divided mainly into Summer and Winter.

Summer is October to April when maximum temperatures average 32C and during which rains may be expected. Winter is May to September and average temperatures during the day are 20 Celsius, but can drop much lower at night. Very little rain can be expected at this time. Although game viewing and safari activities take place year round, the game is more easily visible during Winter when the vegetation dries off. In recent years the rains hae not been very heavy during the Summer, resulting in dry agricultural conditions, but good game viewing conditions for most of the year.
