Tropical - Zambia has a tropical climate with three distinct seasons: the cool and dry season (May to August), the hot and dry season (September to October), and the warm and wet season (November to April). The climate varies by region, with the northern parts being wetter and the southern parts drier.
June to October
This is the dry season, which is ideal for wildlife viewing and safaris. The weather is pleasant, and the landscapes are lush and green. It's also the peak tourist season, so expect more visitors and higher prices.
May and November
The shoulder seasons offer a good balance between good weather and fewer tourists. Wildlife viewing is still excellent, and you can find better deals on accommodation and tours.
