Victoria Falls rainbow in May 2027
Short answer: On 15 May 2027: Best rainbow from Zambia side, Knife-Edge Bridge, 06:55–13:10 (strongest around 06:55), if the sun is out. Every day of May is in the table. Water level in May: medium.
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.
