A Zambia safari holiday combines excellent big game viewing with luxurious unfenced lodges and some of the best guides in Africa. And although the spectacular beauty of Zambia\u2019s immense nature reserves has long made them a favorite for safari connoisseurs, they don\u2019t attract the crowds that cluster around sightings in the better-known parks in Africa &#8211; in fact the only bustle you\u2019re likely to find is at the country\u2019s most popular attraction: the world-famous Victoria Falls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Get the most out of your (luxury) trip to Zambia with my travel guide.

Days are sunny, there&#8217;s hardly any rain, and temperatures are pleasantly mild, although September and October get extremely hot. It&#8217;s important to keep in mind that morning game drives in winter are really cold, so bring warm clothing during June, July and August.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>rainy season<\/strong> (December to April)\u00a0is commonly called the &#8220;Green Season&#8221; as the bush is beautifully thick and green. This however makes game viewing less easy as the vegetation is so dense plus many animals move away from dry season water sources. Most of the rain falls in January and February, and some lodges also close during the rainy season due to flooding. The green season is is the best time though for watching birdlife, including migratory birds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In summary, for the best wildlife viewing in the main parks, you need to visit in the dry winter months (May to October). This coincides with the best opportunities for great photos of Victoria Falls at the end of the rainy season (May to July) when the Zambezi River is in full flood and the falls are at their most spectacular. Any later in the year and you\u2019ll find that the falls aren\u2019t very impressive from the Zambian side, although you can cross into Zimbabwe for a better view. <span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">Certain activities such as white-water rafting are only on offer when water levels are low, and this is also the time to take a dip in the Devil\u2019s Pool \u2013 a natural rock pool right on the edge of the falls.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5 id=\"how\"><strong>HOW TO GET THERE<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Most travelers arrive in Zambia via Lusaka&#8217;s <b>Kenneth Kaunda International Airport<\/b>, the<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> main gateway for all destinations in the country.
