Zambia's climate matches its tropical location. Read More

Zambia's climate matches its tropical location. It has a Dry season from May to the end of October and a Wet season from November to April where it receives good rainfall. During the rains many areas become inaccessible and it is for this reason that visitors are advised to travel from May to October. In addition to being more accessible, the park's vegetation is thinner and the animals congregate around watering holes, making them easier to see.
