Climate: Zambia has a tropical climate with three main seasons: rainy (November to April), cool dry (May to August), and hot dry (September to October). The best time to visit is during the cool dry season, from May to September, as this is when wildlife viewing is at its peak, particularly in the national parks.
Worst Time: The rainy season, from January to March, is the least ideal for travel due to heavy rains, flooding, and poor road conditions, making wildlife viewing difficult.
Key:
Green: Best time to visit.
Orange: Average time to visit, with decent weather but some drawbacks.
Red: Worst time to visit due to extreme weather conditions like heavy rain or heat.
