Malawi - Best Time To Visit
The rainy season lasts from January to March. It is usually hot in between afternoon rains and accessibility can be a problem particularly in certain parts of the north, where roads can be washed away. Although many people do not contemplate travel during the rainy season it is actually a wonderful time to travel to Malawi providing your itinerary is well planned. During the rains the scenery is spectacular as the vegetation is at its lushest and the views are at their most impressive. The game will be dispersed and harder to see due to the thicker vegetation but well worth a visit as the birds and scenery are at their best! During April and May Malawi is beautiful. The rains have gone and all roads should be open. The evenings are cool and the days are warm. During the winter months days are warm and the evenings cool. The vegetation is sparse, but game viewing becomes better as game concentrates around the available water. Summer arrives in September and October and November can be very hot and dry, a good time for game viewing.
