November & December

The weather can be quite unpredictable during November, as it’s hard to determine exactly when the summer rains will begin. But it’s one of the best times to go to Zambia for lower rates on accommodation. Despite the impending rainy season, Africa’s second-largest wildebeest migration begins in the Liuwa Plain National Park around mid-November – safari lovers can witness the spectacle of up to 40,000 blue wildebeest traversing the landscape.

December is generally cooler than previous months in the year and is the start of the rainy season in Zambia. Despite the cooler conditions, the climate can still be very warm and humid. Most camps and lodges close completely due to heavy rainfall and flooding.
