when to visit Lusaka

When to visit Lusaka:

Lusaka experiences a tropical climate with three distinct seasons:
* The warm-wet season (November to April): Characterized by heavy rainfall and high humidity. While the landscape is lush, some roads might be challenging, and wildlife viewing can be more difficult due to dense vegetation.
* The cool-dry season (May to August): This is generally considered the best time to visit. Temperatures are mild, rainfall is minimal, and the drier conditions make wildlife viewing excellent as animals congregate around water sources.
* The hot-dry season (September to October): Temperatures can be very high, and humidity is low. Wildlife viewing remains good, but the heat can be intense.
