Zambia in May

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

May marks the start of the dry season and an excellent time for game viewing.

As the rain decreases, vegetation begins to dry out and watering holes dry up, making animals far easier to find while on game drives.

Weather in May

There is often little to no chance of rain in May, and wildlife viewing improves significantly.

The sun is out, and game drives are much better.

Morning game drives are pretty chilly, so remember to dress warm.

Highlight Park to Visit

Kasanka National Park

May is an exciting time to visit Kasanka National Park.

The landscape is drier, which means wildlife is more prominent. Although the park houses a small number of animals, it still provides a great safari experience.

See animals like otters, crocodiles, and the sitatunga with the addition of kind baboons and puku.

Activities to do in May

  • Game drives
  • Birding
  • Spa treatments
  • Yoga classes
