• For the best chance of seeing a moonbow, plan your trip around the full Moon, ideally two to three nights before and after when the moonlight is strongest, says tour guide Omen Mudenda.
• The best viewing months are usually February to July, when Victoria Falls has a strong volume of water and spray.
• Bring a waterproof jacket or poncho, comfortable non-slip shoes, a camera with low-light settings and an extra warm layer during the cooler months.
• Because access to the falls at night is controlled, Mudenda recommends booking a guided moonbow tour ahead of time, particularly during peak travel periods. A guide can also help visitors move safely between viewpoints as conditions shift through the night.
