Best time to visit Kafue

• June to October – the wetlands start to dry up from June onwards, drawing the game closer and closer to the permanent sources of water. Camps open – 1 June to 31 October when the rains start.
• November – the game is concentrated on finding the scarce food and water sources until the rains start to fall again in December
