Considered one of Africa’s best kept secrets, Zambia is one of a few countries that’s a sure fire bucket list checker. Having given over a third of it’s lands to national parks, adventures in Zambia don’t usually include other people’s footprints. Being one of the most unspoilt countries in the world, it gives you a taste for the “real Africa,” getting you face to face with both nature’s greatest predators and prey and some of the most astounding sights you’ll lay your eyes on, ones that you’ll definitely tell the grandkids about, that’s for sure.
Zambia is blessed with copious, sublime natural wonders, whether it’s the thronging wildlife in the North Luangwa National Park, the majesty of Victoria falls (one of the seven natural wonders of the world), the vast, rugged open spaces, or the dominant Zambezi River. You’ll find your jaw dropping time and again…and again.
The majority of Southern Africa has a similar climate so the seasons are the same across the different countries
May-Sept is the country’s dry season with warm days and cool nights. It’s a great time for game viewing and safari. It hots up significantly in October and November and it can become extremely hot and humid, although it’s hot, it’s a great time to go on safari as wildlife gathers around the remaining watering holes.
Dec-April is rainy season and temperatures have cooled down a lot. The rain however, can be pretty brutal so I during this time, tracks in the national parks are closed because it gets too muddy to drive on the roads.
