When Is The Best Time To Go Or To Visit Zambia?

  • The best game viewing times are when the season is dry and in Zambia and as a region that falls in the sub-tropical climate, two strong seasons are considered, wet and dry.
  • March and May-end of summer, cool temperatures and flooding of the Zambezi River. This is the best time to visit Zambia and to enjoy the spectacular view of Victoria falls after the flooding of the Zambezi River.
  • June to November - it is traditionally dry and temperatures are mild though sometimes unclear weather patterns can confuse, but the best time to visit.
  • December to April - is the rainy season and these months therefore described as the Green season months. Usually, this is not the best time of visiting Zambia because some lodges are closed and animals are not easy to spot in thick dense forests and grasslands.
