May to October is dry season, best for wildlife and Victoria Falls at its most dramatic. November to April is rainy but greener.

Shona and Ndebele are the main ethnic groups. Colonial history is sensitive. Stone sculpture is a renowned art form.

USD is widely used. Carry small bills as change is scarce. Victoria Falls is spectacular from both Zimbabwe and Zambia sides.
