Activity Holidays in Zambia

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.

Best Time to Visit Zambia

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.

Top Tips for Visiting Zambia

  • Always get a guide – Zambia can be a tricky country to navigate on your own, so I’d always recommend getting a guide. They can inform and help you with loads of things, from crossing borders, to driving, and of course showing you the best parts of any country.
  • Do your research and plan your itinerary – make sure you know the best times to visit Zambia depending on what you want to see/do – if you want to do some e.g. if you want to do water sports or, if you want to visit during birthing season, always plan accordingly.
  • Fly in Zambia – fly in to the different locations, it’s a whole lot easier. For example the lower Zambezi National Park is much easier to fly to, as driving can take up to 14 hours!
