The best time to go to Kaputa is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.
During these months, the weather is generally sunny with clear skies and lower humidity, making outdoor activities and travel much more comfortable. Temperatures are pleasant, typically ranging from 20 to 30 degrees Celsius, which is ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the region.
This period is particularly good for wildlife viewing, as animals tend to gather around the fewer remaining water sources, making them easier to spot. The roads are also in better condition, as they are not affected by heavy rains, ensuring smoother travel to and from Kaputa and within the surrounding areas.
For those interested in fishing, the dry season offers excellent conditions, especially on Lake Mweru, where the waters are calmer and the fish are more active.
