Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to visit Zambia?

The dry season, between May and October, is arguably the best time to travel here; wildlife will flock to the wetlands to quench their thirst, providing plentiful game-viewing opportunities; and as water levels begin to lower, activities such as white-water rafting will become available. It’s worth noting that towards the end of the dry season – from September through to November – the Zambian side of Victoria Falls will start to dry up.

What’s the main currency of Zambia?

The official currency of Zambia is the kwacha. It is widely recommended that you have cash handy, as outside of the capital and its hotels, bars and restaurants, cards are not always accepted and there may be an international usage fee. You might struggle to find an ATM the further you venture from Lusaka.

What is Zambia famous for?

The main draw of Zambia will always be its incredible range of national parks, populated with spectacular and diverse wildlife. Walking safaris began here, and are now widely available, offering an exhilarating alternative to game drives and allowing explorers to get closer to wildlife. In addition, Zambia is home to Victoria Falls – the world’s largest sheet of falling water, and one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

Africa’s hidden gem, the vast savannahs and lush wetlands of Zambia are home to truly spectacular wildlife. With an abundance of walking safaris, exhilarating game drives, river cruises and aerial tours, you can explore the untamed plains any which way you want.
