Language
The Zambia Wildlife Safari is conducted in English.
Costs
This wildlife safari includes scheduled, overnight international flights to Zambia with South African Airways; transport in a custom-built safari vehicle or a light aircraft; accommodation in tented safari camps; national park fees and usually three meals a day as specified in the itinerary.
Drinks
Whilst on safari in Zambia, a complimentary bar offering a good selection of beverages is included. Bottled mineral water is always available to you throughout the wildlife safari.
Luggage
The Zambia Wildlife Safari includes light aircraft transfers between Lusaka and Kafue National Park. The maximum luggage limit on these flights, and therefore the safari, is 20kg per person including reasonable camera. All luggage must be packed in soft squashable bags.
The maximum dimensions of the soft bags which can be accommodated are as follows: 25cm wide x 30cm high and 62cm long. Please keep in mind that the baggage compartments on the light aircraft are only 25cm high, so the pilots must have the ability to manipulate the bag into the compartment.
Passengers weighing 100kg or more, or two guests travelling together whose combined weight is 200kg, must please advise us of this in advance as an extra seat will have to be costed in to the package for safety reasons.
Laundry
A laundry service is offered during full days in Lufupa Bushcamp and Busanga Bushcamp - not on a moving day. The service will depend on the availability of water and on the weather. If you would like items laundered please mention this to your guide or one of the camp team. For cultural reasons we ask you not to include smalls in your laundry. Water and washing powder can be made available to you should you wish to wash these yourself.
Charging Facilities
Busanga Bushcamp (Days 7 & 8) offers the chance to recharge batteries. This is only possible whilst the camp generator is running which is usually whilst guests are on safari activities. Because of this, and because there are days when charging is not possible, we recommend you always carry spare batteries with you whilst on the Zambia Wildlife Safari.
It is also possible to use the vehicles cigarette lighter socket to charge batteries whilst on longer drives. Please bring your own attachments and adaptor to connect your batteries to the cigarette lighter for charging.
Tipping
Tipping is not compulsory. If, however, you want to tip because you have received good service, we recommend a discretionary US Dollars $10 per day for your safari guide and US Dollars $5 per day in each camp's tip box which will be distributed equally amongst all the staff.
Visa & Passport Requirements
Travellers on British, American, Australian and New Zealand passports do require a visa for Zambia. Visa fees for entering Zambia are currently US Dollars $50 per person for a single entry and US Dollars $80 for a multiple entry. The visa fee is payable in US Dollars cash on arrival at Zambian immigration.
Wherever in Africa you travel to, your passport should be valid for at least six months from your travel date. You should also ensure that you will have at least 3 clear pages for each time that you pass through a country's customs and immigration. Please ensure that these are visa pages and not the pages for amendments and endorsements which are usually found towards the back of a passport.
Flight Taxes
Please note that a charge of US Dollars $8 per person is payable on departure for internal flights in Zambia. On this wildlife safari there are two flights, totalling to an amount of US Dollars $16.
