Zambia

Tourists entering Zambia need a passport valid for at least six months with three blank pages; nationals from over 160 countries are visa-exempt for stays up to 90 days, while others can obtain a visa on arrival or apply for an eVisa.

A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required only for travelers arriving from or transiting through countries with risk of yellow fever transmission; no other routine vaccinations are mandatory for entry.

Strict regulations apply to the export of wildlife products. Travelers must declare all goods and adhere to duty-free limits.

Driving is on the left. Roads are generally in fair condition, but watch for wildlife and pedestrians, especially in rural areas. Temporary vehicle import requires a Carnet de Passages en Douane and valid insurance. Road tolls are common on major routes.

SIM cards are available from MTN, Airtel, and Zamtel. Coverage is good in cities but limited in remote national parks.

Zambia is relatively safe, but petty crime occurs in cities. Travelers should avoid walking alone at night and keep valuables hidden.
