Zambia in February

Although February is a wet season, that doesn’t mean there is nothing to do or see.

The rainy season gives way to the calving season, which means you can see newborn animals and other big-game animals, such as elephants.

This month, Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park is still one of the best places to go on a safari at this time of year, and Victoria Falls is considered best seen between January and February since the waterfall is at its most dramatic.

Indulge in a birding safari and capture some unique species of birds as migratory birds are present, and this means you get to see abundant birds in the park.

Since the scenery is lush and green, it is the best time to go on a photographic safari and capture exceptional images!

Weather in February

February mirrors January in terms of weather. Expect hot conditions during showers of rain.

The scenery is lush and green, often serving as a gateway for fantastic photography.

Although the rains are prominent, temperatures reach at least 27 degrees this month.

Highlight Park to Visit

Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park

Victoria Falls is Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park’s most famous attraction.

It can be stunning during the rainy season, as the rainbow often appears at the location to signal that the rain has passed.

Here, you get to see fascinating wildlife, and although it’s not a Big Five, there are animals worth seeing.

During the wet season, a unique bird population is present. Migratory birds often appear from other places, while others migrate within Africa.

To make the most of your safari, pack your binoculars for an up-close view of them!
