Anyone been Hunting in Zim in October?
Hi,
I have just booked my first Safari in Zim for the second week in October. I will be going after Plains Game and I was wondering does anyone have any experience with the weather in October?
Thanks-Rob

I was in the Omay last October. the temperature was probably 105-108 during the day. It would cool off at night. For the most part had no problem sleeping and during the day while hot not miserable as the humidity was low. Keep in mind I am from South Louisiana.
I also traveled to Bulawayo and Harare where the weather was perfect, Lower 60s at night at 80s at night.

Wow, that sounds hot no matter where your from! I will be south of Bulawayo. I wonder if the southern part of the country would at least be one degree cooler? lol
Mike, was that on two different safari's you were refering to? Seems like a big contrast in temperature.

I leave for Zim on Oct. 7th.
Planning on it being hot and, at the same time, HOPING for moderately nice weather!
