Getting there

There are several direct flights each week from Europe to Lusaka. It is about a 10 hr flight. There are also daily flights to Johannesburg (South Africa) which connect to Zambia. We can arrange the internationals from the UK and all connecting flights. Most journeys in Zambia involve internal flights as road travel is difficult on poor roads and is not recommended in most cases. There is a good network of internal scheduled flights and charters. Return flights to Lusaka from the UK start from about £500.
