Warnings Or Dangers: No visa on arrival

    • The information on the Zambian government internet pages on access clearly states that there is no visa on arrival in Lusaka airport or land borders for the visa-needy categories. An exemption may be business travellers covered by local businesses who will organise access from Lusaka.
    Other info and anecdotal rumors says that you will get visa on arrival, but that you may be dumped from intercontinental flight trtansits if you do not have a visa in your passport. Sounds like you should not risk travelling without a visa!
    A fellow passenger without visa in my lane from Gabon was charged USD 200 (or was faced with turning back).

    • Zambia - Used to be 500 and 1000 kwacha

    • Smaller denominations kwacha, especially the 500 and 1000 notes are sometimes so worn that it may be impossible to read the actual numbers/denomination or see the motifs. You can only detect the denomination by the color of the notes, which in bad light conditions can be difficult, too..
    Watch for this situation when you hand over a big bank note and get a stack of funny notes as change.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Yellow fever vaccination required on entry.

    • You may not want to arrive Zambia without having proper proof of yellow fever vaccination. It is required for all travellers and you may be held up on the border by not having proof. And do you want to do the vaccination on the spot? Trust the needles at the border crossing? HIV infection rate in Zambia is at 20%.

     Nice page. Thx.    		eli034 Thu May 17, 2007 18:13 UTC
     Flott at jeg nå kan dra nytte av den kunnskapen du har samlet gjennom alle dine reiser. Jeg planlegger en reise fra Kenya til Gambia med bil. Jeg har forresten en liten hytte på Zanzibar.ELI, Bergen, Norge

     Skjønner ikke helt hvorfor din side er lenger nede enn min, når den er så mye bedre. Så jeg tenkte jeg skulle gjøre noe med saken :-)    		Bwana_Brown Sun Apr 9, 2006 15:02 UTC
     An excellent page on your Zambia experiences! Glad to hear that things are still manageable there. My wife & I had problems with SAA in Harare in 1995 but they got us onto a BA flight to London with only 12 hours delay!
