Exercise increased caution

Overview

There are more significant safety and security concerns in Zambia than you would usually find in New Zealand. 

Some things New Zealanders travelling or living in Zambia should be aware of are:

  • Crime – While major cities are often safe during daylight hours, violent crimes have happened. Watch out for petty crime, including theft. 
  • Landmines 
  • Civil unrest – demonstrations have left to violence. 
  • Health – medical facilities are very limited.
