Zimbabwe in September

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

September is such a fantastic month for spotting wildlife! With no rain for five months, many waterholes have dried up, which means animals are out and about, searching for water. This is a great time to see predators and their prey in action!

One of the highlights is watching lions at night when they’re most active. Just a heads up—the evenings can get a bit chilly, so bringing some warmer clothes for your safari adventure is a good idea.

Remember that since it’s one of the driest seasons, the animals tend to kick up quite a bit of dust, which might make photography a tad tricky. But overall, it’s an exhilarating time to be out in nature!

Weather in September

September mirrors August’s weather; days are bright and warm, but nights often get chilly.

Wildlife viewing remains incredible, and game drives tend to be eventful.

Highlight Park to Visit in September and Why

Matusadona National Park

Wildlife viewing at Matusadona National Park is magnificent. Hippos wallow in the shallows, and elephants and buffaloes are abundant.

A Big Five safari is possible here, but rhinos are absent. Lions and hyenas can be spotted occasionally. Regardless, game drives are likely to be successful.
