Zambia Transport


There are a number of Zambia transport options that you could choose, and as the country is not very big, generally most travel within the country is done by road. There are also trains running out of Zambia to neighbouring countries; however the simplest way to travel within Zambia is by car, bus or taxi.

Getting around Zambia


Getting around Zambia is fairly easy and simple, with three main ways of getting around the country's towns and villages. These are as follows:

Car:

Hiring a car is one of the easiest options, and also gives you more flexibility. Roads can be tough however, especially for inexperienced drivers.

Bus:

There are regular buses that run all over the country, from city centres and tiny villages in the rural areas.

Taxi:

Taxis can be taken from the airport as well as city centres and designated drop-off points, with private and mini-bus options.
