Travel break

Zambia is a large country with many long open roads and not much at all between towns which can be many hours apart. So when travelling by road it is important to plan your refreshments, refuelling and rest room breaks because there may not be another suitable place for a good few hours! Here are showcased places where you can break up the journey and continue refreshed and refuelled.
