Rules in force · 6Broken pavements and heat
  • Zambia ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport on official Zambian government sources; if you will cross to Zimbabwe, ask about the KAZA UniVisa and whether it is available to you.
  • Zambia ↗Do not photograph government buildings, police, the military, airports or bridges.
  • Zambia ↗Many bush camps open only in the dry season; check opening dates before you fix flights.
  • Livingstone and Victoria Falls ↗Check visa rules before crossing the bridge or the river: they depend on your passport.
  • Livingstone ↗Broken pavements and heat: large bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
  • Livingstone ↗The Victoria Falls Bridge is a border crossing: do not cross without the right visa and a plan for the return.

If it breaks

  • Message the lodge or hotel your flight number and ask for a transfer; do not count on finding a taxi late at night.
  • Agree the fare before you get in; carry small kwacha notes.
  • If no ride is available, sleep at a hotel near the airport: do not drive at night outside the town.
