When is the best time to visit Zambia?
Show the answer
Answer:
ANSWER:
Zambia’s distinctive seasons provide visitors with different perspectives depending on the time of year. In April and May wildlife is less concentrated due to an abundance of water left over from the rainy season. In June, July and August the countryside begins to dry out and game viewing is generally excellent. September and October provide wonderful game viewing opportunities as game congregates around available water, usually along the rivers. The rainy season is great for bird watching.
