Safety Tips

• Like many countries with a high unemployment rate, petty theft can occur in Zambia
• Keep all valuables safe and out of sight in a moneybag under your shirt
• Do not swim in the rivers ' aside from hippos and crocodiles, there may also be bilharzia
• When on game drives, stay in your car at all times except at designated rest stops
• Drive carefully ' roads can be poor and wildlife can appear in the middle of the road so keep speed levels down
• If you are staying near or in the game park grounds, do not wander out of the camp alone as there may be dangerous wild animals lurking around outside camps
