Although winter can experience some cold mornings and evenings, it usually stays relatively mild during the winter. Some warm clothes will be required for early morning drives in an open vehicle and bush walks.
SEPTEMBER – NOVEMBER: Hot dry season. Hot days mean pack lots of comfortable clothes for warm weather.
DECEMBER – APRIL: Wet season. Days and nights can get very hot and sticky. You need light clothes although there might be a day the temperature drops so ensure you also bring a sweater. It’s a time of heavy rain, so bring a raincoat but it’s also a wonderful time in Zimbabwe and Zambia because everything turns green.
MAY – AUGUST (WINTER): Cold dry season. These are the cooler months and temperatures can be very chilly in the evenings and early mornings. You will need a jacket, gloves, a scarf and a warm hat. But don’t let this put you off, this season is a perfect time for game viewing and sitting around the campfire.
