Let's plan your perfect tripWeather in Zambia
Zambia has a tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons, making it an excellent year-round destination for wildlife and adventure. Whether you’re on safari in South Luangwa, admiring Victoria Falls, or exploring the Zambezi River, understanding the country’s weather will help you plan the perfect trip.
The Green Season (November–April): Lush and Wild
Zambia’s green season is characterised by warm temperatures (25–35°C / 77–95°F) and regular rainfall, transforming the landscapes into a lush paradise. This is a fantastic time for birdwatching and seeing newborn animals, though some remote areas may be inaccessible due to flooded roads. Victoria Falls is at its most powerful from February to May, following the peak rains. While game viewing can be more challenging due to dense vegetation, lodges offer lower rates, and parks are beautifully quiet.
The Dry Season (May–October): Peak Safari Time
The dry season is the best time for safaris, as animals gather around waterholes and rivers, making them easier to spot. Temperatures range from 15–30°C (59–86°F), though June and July can be chilly in the mornings and evenings. This is also the best time for walking safaris in South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi. By October, the heat intensifies, particularly in the low-lying valleys, but wildlife sightings remain exceptional. For those visiting Victoria Falls, the water levels start dropping from August, offering better visibility of the rock formations beneath the falls.
