Seasons and Climate of South Luangwa
October
Open: All the camps and houses
Walking Mobiles become a fixed camp for the month
By now the heat has increased and we are starting our summer. The game has increased and is concentrated around in the riverine area. Bets are placed on when the first storm will arrive. It is usually in the first week and this hopefully clears the air of haze and cools things down.
During the month there are lots of firsts – the first storm, the first baby warthogs seen, the first baby impala spotted. We are heading toward the period of birth.
The river is now crossable by vehicle – hard to imagine the bank to bank fast flowing water of February.
