When Is the Best Time To Visit Malawi?

The answer to the question of what is the best month to visit Malawi depends on what you are interested in doing during your stay. Here you can see an overview of each month and its typical weather conditions.

Tourist Season in Malawi

It's best to visit Malawi in May, June and July - that's when you can count on very good weather all over the country.

Also, choosing months such as April, August, September and October is a good time to travel, but sometimes there may be weather conditions that make the visit difficult. We can expect worse weather in March and also in November, although the journey is possible, this is not the best time. The weather can then be very unpredictable, with a tendency to be bad. It is better to avoid January, February and December as this is when the worst weather of the year occurs.
