Climate & Clothing Suggestions
The “wet” season is normally December to
March, and has variable weather. In one day,
you can have bright sunshine and heavy
downpours. The rain does not usually last
long.
The “dry” season is from May to November
and is the easiest time to travel. June to
August are the coolest months, with cold
mornings & evenings. October is the hottest
month in Zambia, so be prepared for
temperatures of over 40 degrees celcius if you
travel then.
