Zambia in September

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

September is considered an excellent month to visit Zambia. This month, the dry season peaks and animal sightings are impressive.

This month, South Luangwa National Park is a fantastic place to visit since the park houses four Big Five. Although the rhino is absent, the rest of the Big Five are easily spotted.

Here, you can also see waterbirds filling up the Luangwa River. From yellow-billed storks hunting fish in the river, pelicans flying over the river, and hippos lazing around in the water, there are endless wildlife opportunities to see.

Expect to experience birding, walking, and migration safaris while you’re here.

Weather in September

Temperatures tend to reach 30 degrees Celsius by September, and your safari experience will be highly productive.

There is no rain in sight, and days are generally sunny.

Highlight Park to Visit

South Luangwa National Park

Walking safaris are fascinating here as you see big game life and other notable animals.

Photographic safaris aren’t very common here at this time of year, but game drives are productive.

See buffaloes kick up dust or watch elephants bathe or drink water in the river!
