Victoria Falls (Livingstone), South Luangwa National Park, Lower Zambezi, Kafue National Park, Lusaka markets, Lake Kariba, Copperbelt towns, and local cultural villages.

Data planning

Plan for 2–4 GB/week for typical travel use (maps, messaging, photos). Increase allowance if you plan to stream or work remotely. Top-ups and plan changes are simple with Simology.

Insider tips

  • Public Wi‑Fi can be slow or unsecured β€” use your eSIM for safer, more reliable connections.
