Wet And Dry Season In Malawi

Malawi's dry season spans from April to November, when the country receives the majority of its annual visitors. With the exception of Nyika National Park, which is more pleasurable during the wet season, this is the finest time of year for safaris.

Lake Malawi is also best visited during the dry season, when you may swim, snorkel, and participate in a variety of water sports in the crystal-clear inland waters. This is great news for anyone looking to combine a lake excursion with a safari in one of the national parks.

Malawi's wet season runs from December to March, and despite the constant rain, this is still a terrific time to visit. In an already under-visited country, prices are lowered and travelers are scarce. Animals are also born around this time, and it's a real treat to observe the babies sauntering around the savannahs.

However, because of the high temperatures and stifling humidity, as well as the regular thunderstorms, some travelers will prefer to avoid this time of year. Malawi's rains can make some routes treacherous, if not impassable. The country is lush and gorgeous after the rains, yet wildlife seeing is easier in the hotter months of September and October, when foliage is sparser. The rain causes damage to the country's road network, making travel more difficult.
