Planning your Zambia trip
Best time to go: May to August is the cool, dry season. Visit early for birdwatching and Victoria Falls at high water, or later for easier wildlife viewing as the bush dries out.
- Victoria FallsThis major waterfall lies on the border with Zimbabwe and is a World Heritage Site.
- South Luangwa National ParkA popular safari park with a large and varied wildlife population.
- North Luangwa National ParkA quieter park known for large buffalo herds and groups of lions.
- Lower Zambezi National ParkA remote wilderness area with limited development and few dirt roads.
Scams to watch for in Zambia
- Inflated taxi faresDrivers negotiate fares because taxis have no meters. An opening quote can be much higher than the amount the driver will accept. Taxis directly outside Lusaka's airport terminal charge much more than rides found beyond the car park.
- High opening prices from vendorsSellers without posted prices may start at around twice what they will accept. This is often normal bargaining rather than fraud, but an inexperienced visitor can pay far more than necessary.
- Street money-changing scamA street exchange may look attractive, but groups offering to change money are specifically linked to scams. The exact method is not described.
