Lunar Rainbow

The lunar rainbow is an amazing spectacle that can be experienced by guests visiting during the three nights around the full moon. Guests interested in witnessing the lunar rainbow over the Victoria Falls will receive full moon dates including one day prior, on and one day after the full moon. The best months for viewing moonbows are just after the rains from around April through to August / September depending on cloud levels. Make sure you book your trip during the full moon period to experience this unique phenomenon!
