Accommodation Farm House. When travelling to a foreign country it is always very useful to be able to stay with friends or contacts, as different cultures can feel quite intimidating. I stayed in a farm house with friends and this was very helpful and took away the stress and worry that can arise in new environments. Security of belongings and self is of utmost importance. Always ensure that your belongings are securely locked in a safe at your place of residence. If you are unable to stay with friends, I advise you stay in a good hotel.

Fab Tips 1) Ensure that you pay a visit to your local surgery to get travel advice on necessary injections and Malaria courses. Do this several months in advance in order to allow enough time to complete courses of injections! You will definitely need these injections..
Yellow Fever - you will need a certificate of vaccination.
Hepatitis A
BCG
(Rabies - Optional)
I recommend Malarone anti-malarial tablets. Although one of the most expensive (at £60 for a 2 week course), there are very few side effects in comparison to other cheaper anti-malarial's.
2) You must take a mosquito net.
3) Take plenty of mosquito spray.
4) I advise you to take a medical kit containing sterilized needles, a drip kit and several dressings. If an accident occurs it is not advisable to rely on the medical equipment in hospitals.
5) Try to travel with someone who is able to speak the local dialect and who knows the area as this can save a lot of trouble with food, shops, and general travel.
6) Be prepared to barter with market traders. This will ensure you really do get the best price and will show that you are not naive.
7) Try to arrange your own flights. I flew to Johannesburg, South Africa for about £250 pounds. I then caught a 32-seater plane up to Ndola in north Zambia which cost £350 pounds. (A few days ago I found a flight to Johannesburg for £70 pounds and a flight to Ndola for £125 pounds - so be prepared to search extensively)
8) You will need to get a visa for Zambia when travelling from the UK before you depart.
9) It is necessary to have use of a car or truck in Zambia (preferably a 4 x 4) as the roads often disappear! Try to avoid hiring a car as insurance prices are very high.
10) Respect dress codes in the area, women especially - shoulders and body must be covered. Do not wear a short skirt or shorts! Capri pants are sensible option and not too hot.
