Flight reservations

When making flight reservations, firstly you need to know your travel destination in Zambia and your preferred dates. Zambia has several international airports, including Kenneth Kaunda International Airport in Lusaka, Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport in Livingstone, and Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe International Airport in Ndola. Choose the one that is most convenient for your travel plans.

Then visit or call Shamba Travel and Tours. One of their trusted agents will research airlines that operate flights to Zambia. Some major airlines that fly to Zambia include Ethiopian Airlines, South African Airways, Kenya Airways, Emirates, and more.

Once you have decided on which flight best fits your schedule and budget, Shamba will book it for you. When booking your flight, you will need to provide passenger information, including names, passport numbers, contact details, and any special requests or requirements. You can pay with credit/debit cards or other accepted payment methods.

If you are a foreign traveler, ensure that you have the necessary visa and travel documents to enter Zambia. Shamba can check the visa requirements for your nationality in advance.

Before you fly

Before your departure date, it's a good idea to check the status of your flight to ensure there are no delays or changes. You can do this by visiting the airline's website or using flight tracking apps.

On the day of your flight, arrive at the airport well in advance to complete check-in and security procedures. Be sure to have your passport, visa, and e-ticket with you.

Remember that flight availability and procedures may vary, so it's essential to stay updated with the latest travel information and any COVID-19-related requirements or restrictions that may be in place.

It's advisable to book in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, to secure your preferred vehicle.

Driving in Zambia

Navigation

Consider using a GPS device or a navigation app on your smartphone to help you navigate the roads and find your way to your desired destinations.
