FUN FACTS ABOUT THE ZAMBEZI RIVER

DID YOU KNOW?

 Zambezi River means the “Great River” in the local Tonga dialect

• The Zambezi  is the fourth longest river in Africa, after the Nile, Congo, and Niger Rivers.

•  It is the longest east flowing river in Africa.

• It flows through six countries on its journey from its source in north-western Zambia to the Indian Ocean, an amazing 2 700 km.

• This river evokes mystery and excitement with few rivers in the world remaining as pristine or as little explored.  

• The source of the mighty Zambezi River lies at about 1 500 m (4 900ft) above sea level in the Mwinilunga District, very close to the border where Zambia, Angola and the Congo meet.

• From there it flows through Zambia, Angola, Namibia and Botswana then back along the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe finally discharging into the Indian Ocean at its delta in Mozambique. The area of its catchment basin is 1 390 000 square km which is half that of the Nile.

The river can be divided into three section :

• THE UPPER ZAMBEZI

• THE LOWER ZAMBEZI

• THE ZAMBEZI DELTA 

 The Zambezi River provides visitors of some of the best of Africa, including its scenery, wildlife, water sports and water falls.

The Zambian Kwacha

Zambian Kwacha, has been ‘re-based’. Government decided to remove three zeros from the currency to make it easier for people to understand and to avoid having to carry around large carrier bags full of money.

It is not a ‘devaluation’ and the currency and economy remain stable.

The Kwacha now sits at around 5 to the US dollar. You still need to obtain Kwacha as you enter Zambia to pay for various local taxes and any cash payments whilst you’re in Zambia. However, you can still buy your entry visa in USD as it is not possible to get Kwacha outside Zambia..

It is easy to withdraw cash from ATMs at the airport – Visa and Mastercard both work and most larger retail outlets and lodges can accept major credit cards. We advise guests to let their credit card company know if they are travelling to Zambia so that they don’t stop the card for suspicious use. They can also exchange USD, Sterling, Euros and most major currencies at the airports. 

Yellow Fever vaccination required for passengers travelling to and from Zambia

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has revised the Yellow Fever vaccination recommendations for Africa. The South African Department of Health has subsequently issued a statement that all travellers from South Africa to Zambia and travellers from Zambia to South Africa will now require proof of yellow fever vaccination. Previously, this was not required.
All in-transit passengers between the two destinations, irrespective of the time period in transit, will also require proof of yellow fever vaccination.
