Luambe Camp, the only accommodation in Luambe National Park, only operates in the Dry season months of June through to October. The remoteness of the park and the bad roads make it almost impossible to visit during the Wet season.

The middle and end of the Dry season, from July to October, is the best time for wildlife viewing as animals gather around the rivers and lagoons. Be warned though, October is extremely hot.
