When is the best time to go on safari in Zambia?
The best time to visit Zambia for a safari is during the dry season from June to October. During this period, vegetation is thinner and animals congregate around water sources, making wildlife easier to spot.

The dry season is also the prime time for walking safaris in South and North Luangwa, and game drives in Lower Zambezi. October tends to be very hot but delivers spectacular game viewing as wildlife is concentrated near the remaining water.
For photographers or birding enthusiasts, the emerald season (late November to March) can be rewarding, with lush landscapes and migratory birds, although many camps close due to accessibility.
