Victoria Falls rainbow in December 2026
Short answer: On 15 December 2026: Best rainbow from Zambia side, Knife-Edge Bridge, 06:00–11:05 (strongest around 06:10), if the sun is out. Every day of December is in the table. Water level in December: low.
The spray of Victoria Falls rises hundreds of metres out of the gorge, so on a sunny day a rainbow almost always hangs somewhere in it. Which side of the gorge you are on decides the hour.
