May offers transitional conditions: Water flow begins to decrease, spray reduces improving visibility, weather is pleasant (15-27°C), and crowds are moderate. A good balance between water volume and viewing conditions.

The Zambia side offers: Closer access to the Eastern Cataract, Knife Edge Bridge, Livingstone Island, Devil's Pool (dry season), and unique angled views. Livingstone town has good amenities. Entrance: $20 for international visitors.

The Zimbabwe side offers: 75% of the viewpoints, better panoramic views, the main falls viewpoint, Devil's Cataract, Danger Point, and excellent photography spots. The town has more infrastructure, shops, and restaurants. Entrance: $58 for international visitors, $30 for SADC residents, $7 for locals.

It depends: Zimbabwe has more viewpoints and better overall views. Zambia offers unique experiences like Devil's Pool and closer waterfall access. Most visitors recommend seeing both sides if possible. Zimbabwe is better for first-time visitors wanting comprehensive views.

March has high water flow: Similar to February with powerful falls but possibly less rain. The spray is still heavy, creating rainbows. Temperatures start to cool slightly (20-30°C). Good for experiencing the falls' maximum power.

June offers cool, dry conditions: Water flow is moderate, temperatures are comfortable (10-25°C) with cool nights, and visibility is good. It's low season with fewer crowds and good hotel rates. Bring warm clothing for evenings.
