WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT ZAMBIA?
The best time to visit Zambia is in the dry season between May and September. At this time game viewing is at its best as animals flock to waterholes and Victoria Falls views are at their most impressive.
The full power of Victoria Falls can be experienced from March to May after which water levels fall until November/December when the Zambian section can dry up completely leaving a rugged rock face.
