When to travel to Zambia?

This time, there’s no real debate between the dry season and the rainy season.

During the wet season (November-May), many lodges and camps are simply closed. Indeed, river flooding makes it impossible for tourists to be present.

Only the center of Kafue can be visited during this season.

The vegetation will be sparser, reducing the chances for animals to escape into the tall grass.

The Busanga Plains are impassable until early June.
Most accommodations in South Luangwa are closed until the end of May.

So the choice is simple, you’ll need to travel between May and November.

As usual, the best time to maximize your chances of seeing animals is in September and October.

These are the driest months, and since they mark the end of the dry season, only a few water sources remain where all the savannah inhabitants gather.
A real treat for you and the predators.
