When to do:

For excellent visibility and the opportunity to witness animals near water sources, plan your walking safari in Zambia during the dry season, which typically spans from May to October. During this time, different areas in Zambia offer unique highlights for wildlife sightings and experiences.

May to July: In the early dry season, the vegetation is still lush, and wildlife congregates around water sources. South Luangwa National Park is a fantastic choice during this time, known for its abundant wildlife, including leopards and elephants. You can witness incredible predator-prey interactions, as well as the vibrant birdlife along the Luangwa River.
August to September: As the dry season progresses, the landscapes become drier, and wildlife becomes more concentrated around waterholes and rivers. Lower Zambezi National Park shines during this time, offering thrilling encounters with elephants, hippos, and crocodiles. Enjoy boating safaris along the Zambezi River, where you can spot a variety of animals coming to drink.
October: Towards the end of the dry season, temperatures rise, and water sources become scarce. Kafue National Park is an excellent choice during this time, with its diverse habitats and exceptional game viewing opportunities. You may have the chance to witness predator action as they hunt weakened prey near dwindling water sources.

For specific destination recommendations and the best walking safari experiences based on your desired season and interests, it is recommended to consult with ZATO or your travel agent. They can provide tailored suggestions and ensure you make the most of your walking safari adventure in Zambia.
