You are here: Africa --> Zambia --> When to go


When to go



The best time to go to Zambia is from May to August: it's the coolest period of the year, and it's dry and sunny. However, nights can be cold, especially above 1,000 meters (3,300 feet).
In September and October, the heat is intense, with peaks of 40 °C (104 °F), especially at an altitude of about 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) or less.
During the rainy season, not only the weather is hot and muggy, but also the rains can cause flooding and make travelling difficult.

What to pack



In winter (June to August): pack light clothes for the day, but also a sweater, a jacket and a hat for the evening; a sun hat and sunscreen.
In summer (December to February): pack light clothes for the day, and a sun hat; a sweatshirt and a spring jacket for the evening; a light raincoat or umbrella.
