The climate in Zimbabwe is tropical, although markedly moderated by altitude. There is a dry season, including a short cool season during the period May to September when the whole country has very little rain and nights and mornings can be as cold as 5°C/41°F to freezing, but daytime temperatures are still pleasant with a great deal of sunshine. In the late dry season, the landscape becomes stark, dry, and dusty, with all the grass having been grazed down to its roots. It is in the dry season when Hwange’s giants (the elephants) are seen in huge numbers, up to 1000 elephants on a single day!
The rainy season is typically from November to March; rain usually falls in heavy afternoon showers, but they can sometimes be lighter and continuous for a couple of days. Zimbabwe experiences winter and summer at opposite times of the year to Europe and North America and they roughly correspond to the dry and wet season. The green season is gloriously lush and green with lots of surface water, fewer elephants but an abundance of migratory birds. And of course, plains game species birth the next generation of offspring, which in turn makes for phenomenal predator viewing including lions, cheetahs and wild dogs.
