Victoria Falls Is May a good time?
Posted: Sun January 22, 2006 02:14 PM UTC
We're planning a trip to Cape Town -> Kruger Park -> Victoria Falls. Is early May a good time for the 3? I understand that in summer the spray at Vic Falls can become so thick that it obscures the view. How will it be in May? I'll post this in the other 2 forums. Thanks!

Its not really summer but autumn/winter there in May. Yes, early May will be full flood over the falls and there is a lot of mist and spray. I have been there at this time and didn't really feel that it obscured the view. It is an awesome experience to see so much water and the noise and power of it. Certainly compared to late in the year, the view is different, you cant see any of the rock face of the falls in May - in say November there is not much water and lots of rock face visible. Both views are beautiful.

Is May a good time? That's an easy answer. It will be an unequivocal "YES". The answer would have been the same regardless of the time of year.

In the peak of the dry season the falls have considerably less water than in the wet season and in the peak of the wet season there is a huge amount of spray but either way you will be facing a spectacle that'll blow your mind.
