Tips for Budget

Visas and KAZA UniVisa

Zambia has relaxed its entry requirements by waiving visa fees for many nationalities (including EU, UK and US citizens for short stays). If you plan to frequently cross into Zimbabwe to see Victoria Falls from both sides or take a day trip to Chobe National Park in Botswana, apply for the 'KAZA UniVisa' ($50) upon arrival at the airport or land border.

Health, Vaccines and Malaria Prevention

There is a risk of malaria throughout the year in most of Zambia (especially in river valleys such as Luangwa and Zambezi). It is essential to take antimalarial prophylaxis prescribed by a doctor, use repellent with DEET at dawn and dusk, and sleep under a mosquito net. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required if you come from an endemic country.

Driving on the Left and 4x4 Rental

It drives on the left side. The main paved roads linking Lusaka, Livingstone and Chipata are in good condition, but access roads within the national parks (South Luangwa, Kafue) are dirt or deep sand. To travel on your own ('self-drive'), a 4x4 vehicle with a gearbox, air compressor and shovel is essential; During the rainy season (December to April) many tracks are completely impassable.
