When to go to Zambia

The best time to visit Zambia is during the dry season (May to September), when the bush thins, making wildlife easier to spot. During these months, temperatures are comfortable with clear skies, ranging 23°C (73°F) to 9°C (48°F), ideal for walking safaris. During these months water levels at Victoria Falls are low enough for white water rafting and visiting the Devil’s Pool.

Fishing on the lower Zambezi is best from May to October, as water levels start to recede.
