Lusaka
Lusaka is the capital city of Zambia. There is good accommodation in
and around the city. From Lusaka, one can travel north to Tanzania,
east to Luangwa Valley and Malawi, west to Kafue National Park.
Lusaka is about 470 km to the north. The road is in good condition.
Driving time is about 5 hours.
There are often Police Road Blocks along the road but if all your papers
are in order, there is rarely a problem. If you do face a problem at
a road block you are not required to pay any fine immediately; you have
7 days to pay at any police station. Never bribe. Remember that Zambia
requires reflective tape to be stuck to the front and rear of each vehicle.
Seat belts are required.
