What are the highlights of visiting Zimbabwe in February

February is a great time for white-water rafting on the Zambezi river, as the water is low and the white water is more dramatic
Lots of migrant bird species may be viewed
Camps and lodges are cheaper during the wet season
Sable antelope and waterbuck are calving at this time of year
Huge storm clouds provide a spectacular backdrop for photographs
Ducklings are hatching, so you can expect to see young waterfowl in every pond

Any lowlights?

The constant rain doesn’t suit all travellers
February is another humid month
Many camps around the national parks of Mana Pools are closed during the low rainy season
Wildlife is often hidden behind thick vegetation, and as there are plenty of water sources the animals are more dispersed around the parks
Depending on the severity of rainfall, dirt roads are wet and sometimes impassable because of flooding
