What to pack for a holiday to Zambia

The last thing you want to happen when going on holiday is forgetting to pack specific items. Coming to Zambia without a camera, for example, would be a disaster. Check out our guide of what to pack when going on holiday to Zambia.

Safari Essentials

When heading out on game drives or walking safaris, neutral-colored clothing is recommended to blend into the environment. Early mornings can be chilly, even in the heat of Africa, so layering is the golden rule.

• Lightweight, long-sleeved shirts and trousers (for sun and insect protection).
• A fleece or warm jacket for morning/evening game drives.
• Comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes.
• A wide-brimmed hat and polarized sunglasses.

Adventure Gear

If you are planning on water activities near Victoria Falls, such as white water rafting or canoeing, don't forget your swimwear and quick-dry clothing. A waterproof bag for your phone or camera is highly recommended.

Health & Technology

Don't forget your universal travel adapter, spare camera batteries, and external power banks. Regarding health, always pack your prescribed medications in their original packaging, along with high-SPF sunscreen and insect repellent containing DEET.
