What kind of country is Zambia?

Zambia is a landlocked country located in the southern part of the African continent.
As a member of the Commonwealth, the official language of Zambia is English.

The most famous spot in Zambia is the magnificent waterfall known as "Mosi-oa-Tunya" (meaning "The Smoke that Thunders"), commonly referred to as Victoria Falls after the British queen at the time of its discovery. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is at its most powerful from February to May, peaking in April, when you can witness the falls in all their breathtaking glory.
In addition, you can enjoy authentic African safaris in places like Lower Zambezi National Park and South Luangwa National Park, or visit the Livingstone Museum—the oldest museum in Zambia—to learn about the history and archaeology of Southern Africa. There are also many experiences unique to Zambia, such as discovering diverse ethnic music created by various peoples, that you won't find in Japan.

Things You Might Wonder About When Traveling to Zambia.

Cash, cards and currency exchange
The currency of Zambia is the Zambian Kwacha (currency code: ZMW).
US dollars can also be used locally.
It is recommended to exchange Japanese yen for US dollars before your trip. Since you may need to give tips, it’s best to bring small denominations rather than large bills.
In urban areas, you can use Visa and MasterCard credit cards at some locations. However, American Express and Diners are often not accepted, so please be aware.
Tips
Zambia is a country where tipping is customary. It’s a good idea to have coins and small bills ready.
For hotel housekeeping or porter services, about $1 is appropriate. In restaurants, a tip of around 10% is standard.
If someone watches your car at a supermarket or shop, it is customary to give about 50 cents.
Tipping is not generally required for taxis, but if the driver provides an extra service, about $1 is appropriate.
When you receive services from a guide or others, it is customary to give a gratuity.
Public order
Zambia is considered one of the safer countries in Africa, but when looking at the number of major crimes per million people, the rates of crimes such as murder and robbery are higher than in Japan. The risk level can also increase depending on the domestic situation, so it is recommended to check the latest information before traveling.
clothing
Throughout the year, short sleeves and lightweight shirts for sun protection are suitable. If you are visiting places like Victoria Falls, it is advisable to bring a raincoat and shoes with good ankle support and non-slip soles.
Things to bring.
Multi-plug adapter, regular medications, mobile battery, overseas travel insurance, raincoat, sun protection items, insect repellent

There are no mandatory requirements for entry.

However, travelers arriving from countries with a risk of yellow fever, or those who have transited for more than 12 hours in such countries and are over one year old, are required to present a yellow fever vaccination certificate (Yellow Card).
It is also recommended to get vaccinated against malaria before traveling.
