It is true that some parts of the country didn't receive good rains. The first part of the rainy season was very poor but then the latter half was very good and rivers and dams including the Zambezi filled up very quickly. See my report in our last newsletter - April newsletter. The Zambezi currently and will still be on May 14th very full, there is a tremendous amount of spray on both sides of the falls. It's not correct advice to suggest just seeing it from Zambia, if anything the Zambian side has more spray. Zambia has a very short section of the Falls and for a lot of it the spray does obliterate the views but it is still wonderful to feel the power and get drenched. The Zimbabwe side because it has much more view points allows you to see more of the Falls even with this high spray. So I would definately try to see the falls from both sides. It is very easy to arrange a transfer across to Zimbabwe, you can contact us if you need assistance with this. Guided tours are not absolutely necessary but I do think it is nice to have someone knowledgeable who can tell you so much more about what you are seeing than just the view.
I hope that helps

Water flow in Vic Falls by: Anonymous
What is the victoria falls looking like now? We are visiting 30/7. I have been saving for years & will be so disappointed if it's just a trickle.

Falls water level 26.7.16 by: Tony
The Falls are looking beautiful right now. It's a great time to see them, not too much water but a really good flow on the Zimbabwe side
