Best travel period

When to go

This itinerary works best between May and October, during Zambia’s dry season, when wildlife viewing is at its peak. In the Lower Zambezi and South Luangwa, thinning vegetation and receding water sources make it easier to spot large concentrations of animals, while the cooler temperatures create comfortable safari conditions.

August to October are particularly rewarding for predator sightings, although temperatures can rise toward the end of the season.

From November to April, the “green season” brings lush landscapes, dramatic skies, and excellent birding, but some camps may close due to rains, and wildlife can be more dispersed. Mauritius, however, is a year-round destination: during the May to October period, expect warm, sunny days with lower humidity, making it an ideal beach complement to the safari.
