• Respect the birds and their habitats by maintaining a safe distance and avoiding any disturbance.

When to Visit the Zambezi for Birdwatching:

The best time to experience the Zambezi River’s avian wonders is during the dry season, which typically runs from May to October. During this period, the water levels are lower, making it easier to spot birds perched along the riverbanks. The cooler temperatures also make for more comfortable birdwatching conditions.

However, birdwatching can still be enjoyed throughout the year, as the Zambezi River’s birdlife remains abundant even during the wet season. Each season offers unique birdwatching opportunities, so it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and the bird species you’re particularly interested in observing.
