Travel Tips

Absolutely! These destinations in Zimbabwe and Zambia offer an abundance of natural beauty and cultural experiences. Here are your travel tips:

Best Time to Visit:
The best time to visit Harare, Lusaka, and Livingstone is from April to October during the dry season, when game viewing is at its best. For Kariba, the ideal time is also during the dry season, between May and August.

Route and Accessibility:
It's best to start from Harare, then head to Kariba- the road trip would take approximately 4 hours. Following this, Lusaka could be your next stop with a 6 hours drive from Kariba. From Lusaka, you can make your way to Livingstone, approximately 6 hours by road.

Altitude and Acclimatization:
All these locations are at a low altitude, so you shouldn’t have much problem with acclimatization. However, if you feel unwell, it's always best to consult a local clinic or your accommodation provider.

Accommodation and Booking:
Accommodation in all these cities ranges from budget to luxury. It's advisable to book in advance, especially during the peak season. Many of the hotels and lodges can assist with arranging tours and activities.

Clothing and Essentials:
As these areas can be extremely hot, lightweight, breathable clothing is advisable. Don't forget a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Always carry a good insect repellent and ensure you have comprehensive travel insurance.

Health and Safety:
Drink bottled water to prevent any waterborne diseases. Always choose reputable food vendors when eating out. Anti-malaria prophylactics are highly recommended in these areas.

Local Etiquette and Respect:
Please respect the local culture and traditions. Public decency laws are strictly enforced so keep public displays of affection to a minimum. Dress respectfully, especially when visiting rural areas or religious sites.
