Safari in Mwenya Hill

Similar to January, February remains hot and wet, with frequent, often intense, downpours. Humidity levels are very high.

Birding continues to be superb, with a high concentration of migratory species. Newborn animals are abundant, which in turn attracts predators.

We love the opportunity to witness new life and the intense predator-prey interactions that are common during this period.

Rains start to lessen towards the end of March, but it's still warm and humid. Occasional showers are still expected.

Vegetation is at its thickest, offering a different kind of safari experience. Migratory birds begin their departure towards the end of the month.

We find the landscapes incredibly beautiful and green, offering a unique, verdant perspective on Malawi's parks.

Rains significantly decrease, and temperatures start to cool slightly, especially towards the end of the month. Humidity drops noticeably.

The bush is still thick but beginning to thin out, making game viewing easier than in previous months. It's a last chance to spot some migratory birds.

We recommend visiting towards the end of April as the weather improves and the parks are still wonderfully uncrowded, offering excellent value.

May marks the start of the dry season, bringing cooler, dry, and very pleasant temperatures. Nights can be quite chilly.

Vegetation thins out rapidly, making game viewing much easier. Animals begin to concentrate around permanent water sources.

We love the crisp air and the beginning of excellent game viewing conditions, especially for spotting the Big Five in Majete.

June is typically the coolest month, very dry with clear skies. Days are warm and sunny, but evenings and mornings are cool.

Game viewing is excellent as animals are increasingly concentrated around water. Predator activity is high as they stalk thirsty prey.

We find June perfect for walking safaris and boat safaris, offering intimate wildlife encounters and stunning photographic opportunities.

Dry and cool, especially in the mornings and evenings, with warm, sunny days. Rainfall is virtually non-existent.

This is prime game viewing time. Water levels are at their lowest, forcing animals to congregate, ensuring reliable sightings.

We recommend booking well in advance for July, as the game viewing is consistently superb and the weather ideal for all activities.

August is dry, with warm days and cool nights. There is very little to no rain, and skies are consistently clear.

Game viewing remains excellent, with animals very visible against the thinning bush. Predator sightings are frequent and thrilling.

We think August is one of the best months for classic safari experiences, with reliable wildlife sightings and sensational sunsets over the dry landscapes.

Temperatures begin to rise significantly in September, making it very hot and dry. The air can be dusty.

Game viewing remains excellent, but the intense heat can make midday safaris challenging. Animals are still highly concentrated around waterholes.

We love the intense wildlife action around waterholes, though we advise early morning and late afternoon game drives to beat the heat.

October is typically the hottest month, very dry and dusty. Humidity starts to build towards the end of the month, signaling the coming rains.

Game viewing is superb but demanding due to the heat, as animals are desperate for water. Migratory birds start to return.

We recommend October for serious wildlife enthusiasts who don't mind the heat, as the sightings can be truly spectacular and rewarding.

November is hot and humid. The first 'short rains' bring relief from the intense dry season heat, but can be unpredictable.

The landscape dramatically transforms with the first rains, turning green. Migratory birds are abundant, and calving season begins for many species.

We find November a fascinating month to witness the dramatic change in scenery and the arrival of countless bird species.

December is hot, humid, with increasing rainfall and thunderstorms. Expect lush conditions and frequent downpours.

Lush vegetation makes game viewing challenging, but it's excellent for birding and photography of the vibrant green landscapes. Newborn animals are common.

We suggest combining a safari with some relaxation on Lake Malawi, enjoying the warm waters and fewer crowds before the peak holiday season.
