Zambia??
 

I'd like to know if anyone has experience with traveling to Africa, specifically Zambia. I may be going there this summer and I can't seem to find the Lonely Planet guide for Zambia in print (last published in 2002). Thanks for any help! :D

Been to Kenya, but not Zambia. What are you looking to find out?

Given it's proximity to the Congo, I'd be taking every precaution possbile regarding personal safety.

I'll have 5 days free to wander around southern Zambia and environs (in the middle of 6 weeks in the remote back-country) and am looking for things to see/do. Also, do you think the Congo proximity is a real issue?

Also, how much did your ticket cost? (and to/from where?)

Thanks.

Airfare was big bucks. $1300 from LAX to AMS to NBO IIRC.

Congo used to be a very bad area, but recently things have calmed down.

Damn, I'm looking at no less than $2000 from the east coast right now, but that's itno Lusaka. What carrier did you fly?

I belive it was KLM both legs.

Price have skyrocketed since. Now, it was looking like $1500-$1700 into Nairobi.
