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.

Low Season

March to May

This is the rainy season, with fewer visitors due to wet and muddy conditions. Wildlife can still be spotted, but game drives may be challenging, and some roads may become impassable. Accommodations often offer discounted rates during this time.

High Season

June to October

The dry season is ideal for wildlife viewing, as animals gather around water sources, and vegetation is less dense. The weather is pleasant, with sunny days and cool nights. Visitor numbers are moderate, and accommodations are more readily available compared to the peak season.

Peak Season

December to February

This is the busiest time of year due to favorable weather and holidays. Wildlife is abundant, and the scenery is stunning, with clear skies offering excellent photographic opportunities. Visitor numbers are at their highest, and accommodations are often fully booked, requiring advance reservations.
