What To Do

Zambia Honeymoon

Zambian safaris are nothing short of exciting, romantic and memorable!

Zambia is often referred to as the “wild” Africa and offers a real and authentic wilderness experience away from the crowds that, for example, East Africa may bring. With exceptional guiding, small, individual properties and great value for money, these are just some of the reasons that make Zambia an ideal choice for honeymooners!

Safari Experience

The game viewing activities and safari experience in Zambia is so diverse — exhilarating walking safaris, heightened night game drives, fishing expeditions and canoe trips being just a few of the activities on offer. On top of that, the accommodation is rustic and romantic, made of makuti thatch with open-air bathrooms to relax in the bath whilst gazing at the stars. What a way to toast to married life!

Our Service

We have been tailor-making luxury Zambia honeymoons for over a decade and so can draw on a wealth of experience in making sure that you are staying in the right property and having the best time possible. When you first start to plan your Zambia honeymoon, we always recommend having a chat on the phone initially to be able to run through a few options and logistics of Zambia generally, but more importantly, to give us an idea of what you are looking for (safari experience, accommodation etc.) so that we can put together the best experience possible for you. We ONLY tailormake our itineraries and so work with you to get the very best possible trip for both your budget and your wish—list.

Budget and Costs

Of course, this is one of the more important elements of planning your honeymoon and, we are glad to say, the safari camps across Zambia are very accommodating to honeymoon couples — offering special offers, multi-camp discounts or special experiences such as a private dinner in the bush, or champagne sundowners in a beautiful location. Please let us know if it is your honeymoon from the onset so that we can advise the best itineraries, deals and accommodation for a memorable trip!

How to Get Started

Probably the best way to get started is to either give us a call in the UK on +44 1525 840 149 or in the US on +1 917 336 2937 to have a chat through things or send us an email to tell us what you are looking for. We feature a range of Zambia specific itineraries below that should give you a few ideas initially and we look forward to hearing from you soon!

When is the best time to go on a Safari Honeymoon trip to zambia in 2026/27?

Whereas it’s feasible to go on a zambia Safari Honeymoon trip in 2026/27 almost any time of the year — depending on preferences and wildlife/safari viewing plans — but if you want to avoid peak season or aim to get the timing “just right” then use the following guide to the whole of zambia or call us any time to check feasibility, costs or best options for the perfect zambia Safari Honeymoon  trip…

January fair

Visiting Zambia in January 2026/27

January sits right in the middle of the main rainy season in Zambia which, due to the abundance of impassable “black cotton” soil, brings the safari industry to a halt to all intents and purposes. There are one or two properties still open and Victoria Falls is getting to its highest water levels.

Activities & Events

The “green season” birding in the South Luangwa is excellent if a little wet!

Cheat Sheet

  • + Virtually nobody around so great prices and availability
  • + Really good birding
  • + Victoria Falls at high water levels
  •   The black cotton soil restricts access

Top Tips for January 2026/27

  • + Not really a time fo big game viewing

February fair

Visiting Zambia in February 2026/27

As with travel in January, February is still right in the middle of the main rains and so access and logistics are severly hampered. Of the few camps that remain open there is good birding and some boating to be done. 

Activities & Events

Not really a time for big game viewing, this is a peaceful period with birding and Victoria Falls still good options.

Cheat Sheet

  • + Very few visitors so good prices and availability
  • + Excellent birding
  •   Rainfall really restricts safari activities

Top Tips for February 2026/27

  • + Be on the look out for special rates

March mixed

Visiting Zambia  in March 2026/27

Still classified by camps as the “green season”, March offers a quiet and less rushed safari with birding and witnessing Victoria Falls at its peak flow the main activities. Not really a time for big game viewing.

Activities & Events

As per the above, this is not really a main season for game viewing but, with fewer crowds, limited walking and, in particular, birding can be rewarding.

Cheat Sheet

  • + Good time for limited walking and birding
  • + Really good value for money
  • + Victoria Falls is at its peak flow
  •   Game viewing and access are still restricted

Top Tips for March 2026/27

  • + Good value for those on a budget

April mixed

Visiting Zambia in April 2026/27

Still sitting firmly in the rainy season, April is still a restricted month in Zambia with birding and limited walking safaris the main activities. 

Activities & Events

For those that are keen on white water rafting, this is a good month to do go as the waters of Victoria Falls tend to calm down a bit allbeit the rapids are also calmer.

Cheat Sheet

  • + Good value for money
  • + Great birding still
  •   Restricted safari activities

Top Tips for April 2026/27

  • + Really good month for a quieter safari experience

May mixed

Visiting Zambia in May 2026/27

At last, as the main rains start to fade as the month goes on, the country and properties start to re-open once more in preparation for the main season. While many areas remain tricky to navigate, game viewing in South Luangwa and the Lower Zambezi start to improve. 

Activities & Events

The main reason for coming to Zambia, walking and driving safaris start up once again.

Cheat Sheet

  • + Rain starting to clear up
  • + Wildlife viewing and walking safaris start to improve
  • + Still very good value for money
  •   Not all the properties have re-opened yet

Top Tips for May 2026/27

  • + A good month to take a gamble if you are on a budget

June great

Visiting Zambia in June 2026/27

Known as a fringe month for Zambia, June is one of our top picks as most areas are now fully accessible, all the camps are open once more and the game and scenery is starting to really come into its own.

Activities & Events

Walking safaris benefit from the lower temperatures and, as such, it is a great time to visit.

Cheat Sheet

  • + Mostly clear, dry weather
  • + Excellent game viewing
  • Plenty of good rates to benefit from
  •   Not too many downsides!

Top Tips for June 2026/27

  • + A great period for budgets and viewing

July best

Visiting Zambia in July 2026/27

July is the start of the main season in Zambia for safari and, as such, all of the camps and areas start to fill with people wanting to see what the country has to offer. Excellent game viewing in South Luangwa, Lower Zambezi and the Kafue.

Activities & Events

Walking safaris in South Luangwa and boating in the Lower Zambezi are top choices!

Cheat Sheet

  • + Dry and clear weather with cool mornings and evenings
  • + Superb wildlife numbers across the country
  • + Victoria Falls is looking resplendent!
  •   Prices have jumped up since June

Top Tips for July 2026/27

  • + You will need to get booked in early for the best properties

August amazing

Visiting Zambia in August 2026/27

The main safari period is now in full swing across the country with walking in South Luangwa being one of the real highlights. Plenty of people also head to Victoria Falls for white water rafting as the waters recede and so the rapids improve.

Activities & Events

All the main parks of South Luangwa, Lower Zambezi and the Kafue are as good as they get.

Cheat Sheet

  • + Temperatures are starting to increase as the month goes on
  • + Very good game viewing and activities
  • + Great month for white water rafting
  • The most expensive month in the year to travel

Top Tips for August 2026/27

  • + Early booking is a must for the month

September great

Visiting Zambia in September 2026/27

September remains, arguably, one of the very best months to visit Zambia. With temperatures still in the middle 20s, game starting to congregate around the water sources and the arrival of the carmine bee eaters, there is plenty to see and do. 

Activities & Events

Really good walking, boating and birding to be done in the month.

Cheat Sheet

  • + Warm, clear days make for great walking
  • + The arrival of the carmine bee eaters provide a focus
  • + Lower season for visitors
  •   Prices are still on the higher side

Top Tips for September 2026/27

  • + Earlier in the month is better for temperatures

October still good

Visiting Zambia in October 2026/27

October brings higher temperatures to Zambia and, as such, walking safaris tend to be restricted to early morning and late afternoon to avoid the heat of the day. Later in the month the nightly temperatures can make things uncomfortable for those who are not used to it.

Activities & Events

Still a good time to see plenty of game although the water of the Lower Zambezi is a welcome relief after the heat of the South Luangwa!

Cheat Sheet

  • + Clear and dry weather, starting to heat up
  • + Visitor numbers start to drop off
  •   Temperatures can start to tell for some

Top Tips for October 2026/27

  • + Try and travel earlier in the month

November fair

Visiting Zambia in November 2026/27

Ostensibly the start of the rainy season towards the end of the month, November is a great month for those not affected by the higher temperatures as the country becomes quieter once more. Be prepared for hot, muggy days!

Activities & Events

Walking safaris can be draining at this time of year although there is still excellent game to be seen.

Cheat Sheet

  • + Much lower visitor numbers meaning better value and options
  • + Game viewing and migratory birding very good
  •   Temperatures can be stilfing at times

Top Tips for November 2026/27

  • + Aim to book at the front end of the month

December fair

Visiting Zambia in December 2026/27

December moves into the start of the main rains and, as such, the rivers start to fill and mobility starts to become restricted. Still offering good walking and a host of birds varieties, it is still a very pretty time to travel.

Activities & Events

Walking and boating safaris are still very rewarding.

Cheat Sheet

  • + Excellent value time of the year
  • + Very good birding in particular
  •   Rainfall can make for soggy game viewing
  •   The bush becomes harder to track through

Top Tips for December 2026/27

  • + A good value time of the year
