All about Zambia

When to Visit

The best time to visit Zambia depends on your interests. For wildlife enthusiasts, the dry season from May to October is ideal, as animals gather around water sources, making them easier to spot. This is also the best time to see Victoria Falls at lower water levels, offering clear views. If you’re interested in the lush green landscapes and birdwatching, the wet season from November to April is perfect, although some roads may become inaccessible due to heavy rains.

Getting Around

Domestic flights connect major cities and national parks, offering a convenient way to cover long distances. Buses and minibuses are common for shorter routes, while car rentals provide flexibility for exploring remote areas. Guided tours are highly recommended, especially for safaris and visits to national parks, ensuring a safe and enriching experience.

Traveler Tips

Zambia uses the Zambian Kwacha; bring USD for easier exchange. Vaccinations like yellow fever are recommended. Dress modestly, and pack layers for varying weather. Always carry mosquito repellent, sunscreen, and refillable water bottles. Tipping is customary, so budget for guides and service staff.
