Best times to go

The dry season from May to November is when wildlife begins to congregate at the dwindling water sources, offering good viewing opportunities. October is the hottest month, with temperatures sometimes reaching 40°C or more. November to April is known as the ‘green season’, with rain almost every day, normally in short downpours. Birdwatching is at its best and many of the herds have young with them. The vegetation is thicker, and there is less dust.

Getting there

There are several direct flights each week from Europe to Lusaka. It is about a 10 hr flight. There are also daily flights to Johannesburg (South Africa). We can arrange the internationals from the UK and all connecting flights. Most journeys in Zambia involve internal flights as road travel is difficult on poor roads and is not recommended in most cases. There is a good network of internal scheduled flights and charters. Return flights to Lusaka from the UK start from about £500.

Comments

We were told that Robin Pope Safaris were good - and they are! We were unable to fault any aspect of the RPS operation and all those who worked so hard to make our trip the success it was.
