Best Time to Visit Liuwa Plains National Park – Zambia

Short dry Season (May to July): Best season  for wildlife viewing as animals congregate around water sources, and the park’s roads are more accessible.

Long wet Season (January to April): During this season wildebeest and zebra start to leave the park along the Luanginga river to the west and lechwe enter the park from the Luanginga river wetlands and congregate at the center of the park. At this time bird life begins to flourish in every part of the park.

Short wet season (November – December): It  is the start of the rainy season. Is the best period to witness the spectacular wildebeest movement. Wildebeest start having calves and accompany large herds inside the park. Best predator action occurs during this time as hyenas prey on young wildebeest calves and vultures rush to the leftover carcasses.
