Peak season:

The peak season does vary depending on where exactly in Zambia you’ll be booking your flight tickets to. Generally the busiest time of the year falls during the dry season. This is typically from May to September or October time although you’ll find cheap flights to Zambia harder to find due to the popularity. You’ll also have the best chance of spotting the animals during a safari as they flock to the waterholes which are full from the wet season. If you visit Lusaka then make time to visit some of their charming markets. Kabwata Cultural village market is on Burma Road and is crammed with traditional wares and tribal crafts. It also exudes a taste of Zambia’s culture so is definitely worth a visit. April can also be a surprisingly busy time of year to visit as the weather is staying drier and festivals begin to start.

Off season:

You’ll certainly find the cheapest flights to Zambia from late November to mid-March as these are the main months of the wet season. December to late February sees the worse of it and it’s not generally advisable to visit during the wet season. That said, if you are on a budget and don’t mind getting wet then you’ll definitely find some deals on your flight tickets, with some flights to Zambia close to £500 cheaper in January than in June and July. March and November are typically classed as off-season although they are the pre-wet season months of the year. You can expect some rainfall but you’ll also find cheap flights to Zambia a lot easier to come by.

If weather is an important factor for your trip to Zambia, use this chart to help with planning.

Travellers hoping to avoid the cold should look outside of June, when temperatures are typically at their lowest (around 16.0 C).

When is the best time to book a flight to Zambia?

Use this chart to determine the optimal time to book a return flight to Zambia. Price data was last updated on 28 January 2024.

You’ll want to make sure your flights to Zambia are booked at least four or five months before you intend to travel. Any earlier than five months and you might not notice too much difference in the price of your flight tickets but they do shoot up rather suddenly as the months roll by. While you’ll definitely find the cheapest flights to Zambia in around December and January, the best time to visit would be when the wet season is finishing and the waterholes become an attraction for the animals. If you’re not overly fussed about the safari animals then be as flexible as you can and you’ll find the cheapest flights to Zambia. Avoiding any festivals and the peak season from June to September will save you a lot of money. School holidays, while difficult to avoid, do increase the price of flight tickets tremendously so if you can get away during term time then you’ll make a saving.
