Is September the right month?
September is actually the best month of the year in Harare. Good timing.
Our verdict
Harare, this is African high altitude (1500m) that softens the climate: not the Mozambican heatwave, nor the extreme drought of Botswana. September is my favourite month (9.6/10): 14-28°C, 2% rain, just before the wet season.
Plan your trip
Hotels at their lowest outside peak season, highest on comfortable months. Shoulder seasons offer a good price/climate compromise.
