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.
