Africa \ Zambia & Malawi Inside information
Getting There British Airways flies direct to Lusaka. Overnight flights usually take about 10 hours.
Best Time to Visit Zambia’s dry season is between May and October. Temperatures reach around 29°C during the day. Early dry season is the most pleasant time to travel and the best for bird-watching. For game-viewing, late dry season is better as water is harder for the animals to find, although it is very hot.
Combine it with... Zambia and Malawi fit perfectly as unique and adventurous safari destinations. South Luangwa National Park, a wildlife-rich reserve, combines well with the relaxation and activities on the famous shores of Lake Malawi.
Lower Zambezi The Lower Zambezi National Park covers an area of 4092 sq km, and contains the Zambezi River. The big attractions of a safari here are the water- based activities. A canoeing adventure scouting for wildlife is a must, and provides a great opportunity for photography. Elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards and buffalos all live here, and bird-watching is good, too. Activities: canoeing, fishing
Kafue National Park Kafue is Zambia’s largest national park, covering 22500 sq km. It is home to a wide diversity of wildlife and provides a fantastic game-viewing experience.
