> Season and Climate
 Climate
in Zambia is characterized by three distinct seasons. Winter
is from May through August and is the most comfortable
time to travel when conditions are cool and dry. Rivers
and water sources recede creating good game viewing as
wildlife congregates around water. Many roads into more
remote areas are only passable during this dry season.
Cool evening and early morning temperatures during this
time of year require a sweater or lightweight jacket. Although
it continues to be dry from September through mid-November
and conditions on the ground remain accessible for travel,
temperatures and humidity begin to rise especially in October
and early November just prior to the onset of rains. Game
is even more concentrated and if you can handle high temperatures
(90°F) and humidity, then this is the ideal time for
game viewing. Summer is from mid-November through the end
of April and is characterized by warm to hot temperatures
and rainy, wet conditions on the ground. The onset of the
rains in the green season makes access to explore remote
areas difficult and many seasonal camps are closed during
this time. Game viewing is best during the dry season from
May through to October. The wet season is best for bird
watching.
