Best Time to Go for Zambia Safari Holidays

January to April

January to March make up the peak of the rainy season in Zambia, which is when the roadways and floodplains are often flooded, and the camps in the region closed for visitors. While walking safaris and game drives are not available during these months, you can enjoy boating safaris during this time, especially in the South Luangwa National Park.

May to July

Zambia is home to some of the most incredible wildlife on the planet, and there is no better time to see it than between May and July.
