Zambia is a landlocked southern African nation famed for the thundering Victoria Falls, vast wildlife parks and warm, welcoming people. The capital Lusaka is the main gateway for UK travellers, whether visiting family, on business or heading out on safari.
The dry season from May to October is best for safaris and game viewing, with sunny days and thinner bush. Victoria Falls is at its most powerful just after the rains, around March to May. Fares tend to ease outside the July–September peak, so the price charts on this page show the cheapest dates for your route.
The main gateway is Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN) in Lusaka. Many safari travellers also fly into Harry Mwanga Nkumbula International Airport (LVI) at Livingstone, the closest airport to Victoria Falls, and Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe (NLA) at Ndola in the Copperbelt.
There are no direct flights from the UK to Zambia, so journeys involve one stop. Emirates (via Dubai), Qatar Airways (via Doha), Ethiopian Airlines (via Addis Ababa), Kenya Airways (via Nairobi) and South African Airways (via Johannesburg) all connect London with Lusaka. Total journey times are typically around 13–17 hours depending on the layover.
Your allowance to Zambia depends on the airline and the fare you book. The table below shows typical long-haul allowances so you know roughly what to expect — always confirm the exact limits with your airline before you fly.
| Fare type | Hand baggage | Checked baggage |
|---|---|---|
| Basic / Light economy | 1 small under-seat bag | Usually none — add for a fee |
| Standard economy | 1 cabin bag + 1 personal item | Typically 1 × 23 kg |
| Premium economy | 1–2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 23 kg |
| Business / First | 2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 32 kg |
