Open Africa in Zambia

Cape Town, Outside Zambia

Updated 10 months ago
Open Africa offers self-drive travel routes that are decidedly off-the-beaten-track. This is about as far as you can get from the usual holiday package deal. It is a social enterprise under the patronage of Nelson Mandela, and it has a vision to help sustain livelihoods across rural Africa. It works with communities to establish its travel routes in a network supported by local enterprises. Find out more details of routes and accommodation options and book your authentic Zambian experience using the Open Africa website.
