Zimbabwe's climate is divided mainly into Summer (October – April with temperatures around 32°C) and Winter (May – September with temperatures around 20°C but can drop much lower at night).

The main rainfall is between December and March when access to some hunting areas can be restricted because of impassable conditions and high temperatures combined with humidity. The ideal hunting time is between April and October. Highveld areas may offer hunting year round at the discretion of the Operator. Other areas may also open year round depending on conditions prevailing.
