The best time for wildlife viewing in Zinave National Park is from July to October, during the middle and end of the Dry season. This is when the bush has thinned out, which makes animals easier to spot. As it gets drier, animals gather around permanent water sources, especially the Save River and the pans. October is, however, uncomfortably hot.
