Traveling in Zambia

Zambia is a hidden gem of Southern Africa, where raw adventure meets warm hospitality. Its untouched landscapes—from the thunderous Victoria Falls to the wildlife-rich South Luangwa National Park—attract intrepid travelers, culture seekers, and nature lovers alike. Whether you're trekking to remote villages or glamping under a starlit sky, Zambia promises an authentic and unforgettable escape off the beaten path.

Zambia’s hosting scene is a mix of laid-back backpackers and local families eager to share their culture, often in lively hubs like Lusaka and Livingstone. Hosts here tend to be adventurous locals or expats with deep knowledge of the country’s hidden gems, making Sofahop a great way to connect with them.

Travel tips for Zambia

  • 1

    Carry small denominations of Zambian Kwacha (ZMW) for markets and local transport, as change is often unavailable.

  • 2

    Visit between May and October for dry-season wildlife viewing, but pack a rain jacket just in case of sudden showers.

  • 3

    Always use bottled or filtered water and avoid ice in drinks to prevent stomach issues common in the region.
