Zambia Health & Safety

Zambia is a vibrant destination that calls for some thoughtful planning. It is advisable to stay up-to-date with routine vaccinations for typhoid, polio, tetanus, and yellow fever. Make sure to stop by your local travel clinic ahead of your departure date to discover what vaccinations you’ll need. This is an evolving terrain that calls for strategic foresight.

Zambia is a place where adventure awaits, particularly during the rainy season when the landscape comes alive. Nonetheless, protective measures are readily available and efficient in your homeland. Alongside malaria prophylactics, we suggest bringing along a potent mosquito repellent for your journey. Connect with your local travel clinic well in advance of your departure dates.

While Zambia faces challenges with a notable HIV infection rate of approximately 11%, it remains lower than that of Botswana, South Africa, and Mozambique. While this may not typically pose a challenge for those embarking on an African safari, it is wise to stay informed about the details.

Exploring the wilds of Zambia

Make sure to bring along your favorite insect repellent to fend off those pesky bugs.
The African sun can be intense. Be sure to pack a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and long sleeves for your journey. Carrying a bottle of water is a smart move to ensure you stay refreshed and ready for whatever comes your way.

Your safari guides are well-trained and incredibly knowledgeable, with a primary focus on ensuring your safety in the wilderness. Always heed their guidance on how to conduct yourself and what actions to take during your safari, particularly when coming across majestic creatures such as elephants, hippos, giraffes, and lions.
