Special Zambia Travel Tips

United States citizens traveling to the land-locked African country of Zambia will need a travel visa to enter the country for travel that is either business-related or for tourism purposes.

Here is all you need for either type of visa.

If you are a holder of a passport issued by any of the following countries, the following special notes apply to you for travel to Zambia:

There are no vaccinations required for entry to Zambia, although it is always a good idea to have a chat with your personal physician to see if there are any vaccinations for your personal situation. Hepatitis A can be contracted through contaminated food or water for example, and is a common vaccination for travelers to receive. Outside of Lusaka, Livingstone (Victoria Falls), and well-known game parks, tourist facilities are not fully developed.

One restriction for travelers to be aware of is regarding Benadryl. Certain over-the-counter medications, such as the antihistamine Benadryl, may not be brought into the country without permission. It’s a good idea to get permission in advance of your trip. Contact the Government of Zambia’s Pharmaceutical Authority to request advance permission to bring the drugs, including over-the-counter medicines, into the country by emailing the Director General at pharmacy@pra.gov.zm
