Last updated: 2026-08-16

Sweet spot: April, May, June. Computed from NASA POWER climate normals across the route's overnight towns, balancing temperature, rainfall and daylight.

💡 Good to know

Dry season: clear lake water, cool plateau nights and Mulanje's granite paths at their best.
The rains green everything and swell the waterfalls; some dirt roads become rivers.
