Zambia

When to go

Thanks to its average altitude of about 1,200 mt Zambia enjoys a more pleasant climate than other tropical countries. Summers are hot and humid, particularly in the Zambezi and Luangwa valleys, and winters are cooler, with temperatures that can fall considerably at night. The best time for a safari is the dry and cold winter between June and October, when wildlife congregates around waterholes and vegetation is sparse. The green season, running from November to May, is less favourable in terms of climate and game viewing. This is a general indication, supposing this is your first safari in Zambia and that your priority is game viewing. Every season has its charm though, colours and nuances that make it unique and offers the opportunity of different encounters and experiences. If you have any special needs or interests or simply want to know more, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to advise you on the best time for your safari experience in Zambia.
