Some updates on why April and May is still a great time to travel to the Lower Zambezi National Park.
- Tourist densities are lower, and you often have the place to yourselves both on the River and on land.
- The weather is calm and clear, still relatively warm during the day but cooling to a fresh crisp cool during the evening.
- The skies are big and bright which make good photo opportunities during the day and exceptional stargazing at night.
- The rainy season is just about over leaving the bush lush and green.
- Water everywhere attracting birdlife from far and wide, including many a migrant. Flocks of Wooly-Necked and Abdims storks, come to feed on the millions of corn crickets, and circle the skies along with vultures and raptors.
- It's a time of plenty, so numbers of newborns are high. Elephant, hippo, impala, waterbuck, lion and leopard often have their young doing well at this point.
- There can also be some surprises, such as lions that come in search of females or new territories, as well as very rare and special sightings such as the Cheetah, first seen in late April.
