Zambia

There is a high risk to your security in the areas where Zambia borders with Democratic Republic of the Congo because of cross border raids from Democratic Republic of the Congo.

There is some risk to your security in the rest of Zambia. Travellers are advised to be security conscious. Armed robberies and car hijackings are on the increase as are muggings. Avoid demonstrations and large gatherings which can turn to violence. Avoid walking after dark. Road travel at night is hazardous. The borders with Mozambique, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Angola are landmined.
