The best time to visit Sesheke is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.
During these months, the weather is generally sunny and warm, with cooler evenings, making it comfortable for exploring. The lack of rain means that the roads are in better condition for travel, and the Zambezi River levels are typically lower, which is ideal for activities like fishing and boating. Wildlife viewing also tends to be easier as animals congregate around the remaining water sources.
For those planning safari activities, the dry season offers the most rewarding experience. The sparse vegetation makes it easier to spot animals, and the generally clear skies are excellent for photography. This period is also popular for birdwatching, as many species are active and visible.
Conversely, the wet season, from November to April, brings heavy rains and high humidity. While the landscape becomes lush and green, road conditions can deteriorate, and some areas may become inaccessible.
