What to Pack?

Your trip package may vary depending on the season you intend to visit Zambia and the activities you choose to participate in while there. However, the normal criteria should contain basic necessities such as clothing to keep you warm, a mosquito net in case you stay in a hotel with none, and a large hat to protect you from the sun's harsh rays, among others. Your camera should also be on your list of stuff to bring because you can't afford to miss out on photographing the lovely moments you'll have.

When planning a trip to Zambia, passengers should carefully review the airline's policies. Before arriving in Zambia, some airlines may need proof of a negative COVID-19 (PCR) test. All visitors arriving in Zambia will have their temperatures taken and must fill out health declaration papers to be submitted to Port Health Officers. In public, face masks must be worn.

If you're coming from a place where yellow fever is common, you'll need a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate. You may be subjected to a medical screening at the Zambian border if you're traveling from an Ebola-affected area. Zambia's borders with the Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, and Mozambique are dangerous due to landmines and other war remains. Off-road travel is risky.
