For many, planning a holiday to Bulawayo is influenced by the weather conditions. The city has a humid subtropical climate, with three main seasons. There is a dry cool winter period from May to August, a hot dry period from late August to early November and a warm wet period, running from late November to April.
The warm wet season is generally avoided by travellers due to the increase in temperatures and rainfall. If you’re looking to save some money however, this can be the perfect time to look for a cheap flight to Bulawayo and off-peak accommodation rates.
In general tourists favour the drier season from May to early November. Plan a trip in the months of May to August if you would prefer slightly cooler temperatures which are on average between 7 and 23 degrees Celsius, or opt for a holiday in September to early November if you prefer high temperatures of around 27 to 29 degrees Celsius. Prepare to pay peak prices for flights to Bulawayo and hotel rates throughout this period.
