The best time to visit Ndole is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.
During these months, the weather is generally pleasant with clear skies and less humidity, making it ideal for outdoor activities and wildlife viewing. The temperatures are comfortable, typically ranging from 20°C to 30°C. This period also sees less rainfall, which means the roads are more accessible and the vegetation is less dense, making it easier to spot animals.
For those interested in wildlife, particularly game drives and walking safaris, the latter part of the dry season, from August to October, is often considered the prime time. As water sources become scarcer, animals tend to congregate around rivers and waterholes, offering more predictable viewing opportunities. This period is particularly good for couples looking for a safari experience with high chances of spotting a variety of wildlife.
Travellers who prefer slightly cooler temperatures and greener landscapes might find May and June appealing. The scenery is lush after the rains, and while wildlife viewing may require a bit more patience, the birdwatching is exceptional during this time.
