Transport

Of course there are many modes of transport to help you get around Zambia. For visitors, the easiest way to travel between main cities is by domestic flight. This cuts out bad roads and saves times. However if time permits and you want to see some of the real Zambia, then travelling by road can be rewarding. You can do this by hiring a car or by using an inter-city coach service. When you are in an urban area the easiest way to get about is by hiring a car. Alternatively you can use a taxi or the interesting mini bus service. Though Zambia has an historically important train line, used today for haulage, the main passenger train service is currently not a recommended option for the travelling public. However the Tazara line from Kapiri Mposhi to the Tanzanian border and across Tanzania to Dar es Salaam is frequently used by both residents and tourists.

To find suitable transport options, select the type of transport you are looking for, then use the sorts to find the services that suit you.
