Planning Your trip your Zambia? Here's what you need to know

Getting to Zambia:

Most international travelers arrive via Kenneth Kaunda International (LUN) in Lusaka or Harry Mwanga Nkumbula (LVI) in Livingstone.

Reaching the South: * From Livingstone: A 3 to 4-hour drive (approx. 200km) takes you to the Dundumwezi Gate, making Southern Kafue an ideal companion to a Victoria Falls trip.

From Lusaka: Access via the M9 Spinal Road (approx. 5-6 hours) offers a scenic route through the heart of the park directly to Lake Itezhi-Tezhi.

By Air: For those short on time, charter flights land at the Ngoma or Chunga airstrips, followed by a short game drive to camp.

Visas & Entry (2026 Update):

Many nationalities (including UK, USA, Canada, and EU) currently enjoy visa-free entry for tourism. If you plan to cross into Zimbabwe, the KAZA UniVisa is the most cost-effective option.

When to Visit:

* Dry Season (June–October): Best for big game sightings as water becomes scarce.

Green Season (November–April): A lush, emerald paradise perfect for birdwatching and photography, though some bush-camps may close due to rain.
