Travel Essentials
Travel essentials provides information on the important things you need to arrange when taking a trip. For example, how are you transferring from the airport to your hotel? Where are you going to exchange your currency? Who do you contact in an emergency? If you want a travel agent or tour operator to arrange all these finer details for you then all their information is right here.
To find what you need, select the type of service you want, then use the sorts to find services that are relevant to you. Having selected your chosen range of services, click through to a particular service provider for more information and pictures to give you a better idea of what they provide. You can then make arrangements directly through the contact details or enquiry form provided.
- Bureau de change
Zambia has a free market economy with no exchange controls. Major currencies can be bought and sold over the counter at bureaux de change in cities and towns across the country.
- Emergency services
Emergency services include all aspects of emergency support including the police, fire and rescue and medical emergency support.
- Tour operator
Tour operators in Zambia can design your holiday and short tour packages. Tours can be bought 'off the shelf'. Alternatively the tour operator can design a holiday specifically for you, incorporating all your individual special requirements. To give you a bespoke holiday they will recommend where you go and who you stay with and then they will organise everything for you. Tour operators do not handle airline ticketing directly but travel agents do.
- Transfers
Zambian transfer companies will take you from A to B, providing you with a vehicle and a driver. For example from the airport to your hotel, between business meetings or even between cities and game parks if you are connecting by road. On arrangement a transfer company will be there when you arrive and when you are ready to leave.
- Travel agent
Travel agents in Zambia represent other companies in the travel industry such as accommodation providers, airlines and tour operators. They can help you with all your ticketing, transfers and bookings, and will arrange a package or a series of packages to suit your requirements. You will be given an itinerary, tickets and transfer information so you can enjoy hassle-free travelling. Many travel agents in Zambia have a department that deals specifically with corporate clients, addressing their travel, staff incentive programs and conferencing needs.
