This advice has been reviewed and reissued with amendments to the Crime and Local Travel sections . The overall level of the advice has not changed.
You should exercise caution when travelling in the rural parts of North Western, Copperbelt, Central and Luapula provinces close to the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), particularly after dark. You should also be aware that there is a risk of landmines on the Angola side of the Zambia/Angola border, as well as on the Zambia/Mozambique and Zamiba/DRC borders.


Around 100,000 British tourists visit Zambia every year (Source: Zambia Tourist Board). The main types of incident for which British nationals required consular assistance in Zambia in 2007 were for: replacing lost or stolen passports (23 cases); deaths, mostly from natural causes (6 cases); and dealing with arrests or detentions (4 cases), mainly for drugs or immigration offences.


There is a low threat from terrorism. But you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks which could be in public areas, including those frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.


We strongly recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling. You should check any exclusions, and that your policy covers you for all the activities you want to undertake. See the General (Insurance) section of this advice and Travel Insurance for more details.
