What is the best time to travel to Malawi?

Malawi has a tropical climate with two main seasons. The best time to travel to Malawi is between May and October during the dry season. The temperatures are pleasant, roads are accessible, and there’s minimal risk of rainfall, creating ideal conditions to explore the country's landscapes and wildlife. Conversely, the wet season from November to April brings frequent showers, which can make some areas challenging to access. However, lush vegetation offers vibrant scenery during this time, though it’s advisable to be well-prepared for potential weather inconveniences. Traveling during the dry season ensures a more enjoyable experience and clear views to fully savor the wonders of Malawi.
