November to March is generally the best time for tours in Benin, as the weather is cooler, drier, and more predictable, making it ideal for outdoor activities and photography. The annual Voodoo Festival happens on 10 January each year. The FROST team is privy to 'insider' information about special pre- and post-festival celebrations.
April-May can still be good for photography, but the heat can be challenging.
May to October offers a different experience with lush landscapes, but the rain can disrupt travel plans.
Festivals & Events: Voodoo Festival and Gaani Festival. Contact the FROST team for more details on festivals.
Mana Pools National Park is a highlight of any Zimbabwe photographic tour. This UNESCO World Heritage site is where the mighty Zambezi River winds through ancient floodplains, shaded by towering acacia trees. The park’s rich ecosystems support a wide variety of wildlife, including elephants, wild dogs, and the rare sitatunga antelope. As the sun sets over the river, photographers can capture breathtaking silhouettes and reflections. Whether you’re drawn to intimate animal encounters or sweeping landscapes, Mana Pools offers some of the most rewarding wildlife photography in Zimbabwe.
As the largest reserve in Zimbabwe, Hwange National Park offers a rich tapestry of landscapes and wildlife. From open savannahs to forested pockets, the park is a haven for photographers seeking variety in both terrain and subject. Hwange is especially famous for its large elephant herds, allowing for close encounters that make for powerful imagery. Moreover, the Kalahari sands and seasonal floodplains provide dramatic backdrops—ideal for capturing the essence of wildlife photography in Zimbabwe.
No Zimbabwe photographic tour is complete without witnessing the spectacle of Victoria Falls. Known as “The Smoke That Thunders,” this mighty cascade crashes over basalt cliffs, sending plumes of mist skyward and creating rainbows that dance in the sun. For photographers, it’s a dream location—ever-changing and full of drama. Whether capturing the raw power of the falls in the rainy season or focusing on the tranquil beauty of the dry months, Victoria Falls is a highlight of wildlife and landscape photography in Zimbabwe.

It's truly unique and not a trip one cannot simply "Google" - we appreciated the seamless logistics, prompt email replies, and material to keep us informed and dreaming pre-departure.
