Editorial snapshot
Zambia rewards travellers who plan ahead and book during the January-February low season, when fares drop and the crowds thin out. It suits the wildlife-obsessed rather than the beach-and-brunch crowd. Routing via Johannesburg or Nairobi is the norm for most nationalities, and the journey is long, so splitting the fare over instalments is not just convenient, it is practically sensible.
Score based on Laters booking data and editorial review, 2026
May through October is Zambia's dry season and prime safari window, when fares climb sharply and camps fill months in advance. January and February offer the lowest fares but the wettest conditions. The sweet spot for value and experience is typically May or early October.

IATA: LUN · 25 km east of Lusaka city centre
Kenneth Kaunda International Airport is Zambia's primary international gateway, handling the majority of long-haul and regional traffic. The expanded terminal has improved processing times, but immigration queues can be slow during peak arrivals, so allow extra time. Most major carriers including British Airways, Emirates, and Ethiopian Airlines operate from the main international terminal.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Metered taxi | ZMW 150-250 | 30-45 min to city centre |
| Ride-hailing (Yango/inDriver) | ZMW 100-180 | 25-40 min to city centre |
| Hotel shuttle | Often complimentary or ZMW 80-120 | 30-50 min depending on hotel location |
IATA: LVI · 6 km from Livingstone town · 10 km from Victoria Falls
Harry Mwanga Nkumbula is a compact, low-key airport that serves as the most convenient entry point for Victoria Falls and the Livingstone area. Most arrivals connect via Lusaka or Johannesburg, and the terminal is small enough that baggage typically arrives quickly. The short distance to town means transfers are fast and inexpensive.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Taxi | ZMW 80-120 | 10-15 min to Livingstone town |
| Lodge transfer | Often included or USD 15-25 | 10-20 min to Victoria Falls area |
