The landlocked country of rugged terrain and diverse African wildlife has just reopened its borders for tourism. With its many parks and safari areas, Zambia is now welcoming all tourists back.
Who Can Travel to Zambia?
All countries. It’s a good news that Zambia is now once again allowing all travelers from all countries to visit and explore its wonders.
Are There Any Testing and/or Quarantine
Firstly, all tourists must present a negative PCR COVID-19 test taken within 14-days of departure. That is to say, mandatory testing before arrival must be done. Zambia clearly said that without the proof of this test, travelers will be denied entry.
Secondly, upon arrival, any tourists that are showing symptoms or has a temperature higher than the normal must be re-tested at the airport.
If tourists fulfill the above requirements, and they do not have symptoms, they do not need to quarantine upon arrival in Zambia.
