How is the public security situation in Zambia now? What should I bring with me?

Security in Zambia is good, and the locals are relatively friendly. I have heard of gangsters robbing things in Lusaka, but only twice a year. Some basic principles are the same in many African countries. Do not go to remote places. Don’t go out too late, don’t go out alone, you have to take your own safety into consideration, and think twice about everything abroad.

When arriving at Lusaka Airport, it is generally smooth to get stamped and collect your luggage. However, do not let the airport staff help you load your luggage and push the luggage cart. There may be a small black bar to stop you when you leave the airport. Don’t be afraid to ask for luggage inspection. As long as there are no obviously prohibited items, just let them check. These people just want to blackmail you. If they make things difficult for you with some very low-level questions, just call your local friends, the person in charge of your work unit, or the ambassador. Pavilion 0026-0211251169

Zambia does not have a formal rental operation system. There are minibuses, but I don’t think any Chinese would be willing to take them - if you can endure the suffocating air in the car; there are some zero There are sporadic private car rentals, so be sure to confirm the destination and price before getting in the car.

Price is 3 to 5 times higher than in China. There is no light or heavy industry here, and everything is imported. Some daily necessities can be brought from China. If you are not short of money, buy them locally. There are many Chinese restaurants. China, Far East, Yangzhou, Dongfang, and Wolong (also known as North) are the names of Chinese restaurants. There may be places I have never been to. The East is more luxurious and newly renovated, the North is more affordable, and Far East is comprehensive. The standard is relatively high. There is also the Jinqiao Hotel, one of the most luxurious in the area. It is owned by a Chinese. I heard that it has a presidential suite, but I have never been there.

Zambia is the rainy season from December to March. Especially now, there are many mosquitoes. Many mosquitoes in Zambia carry malaria parasites. You must take precautions. It is best to equip the bedroom with a mosquito net, mosquito killer lamp, Electric mosquito swatter, anti-mosquito cream, mosquito coils - this is what my bedroom is equipped with. But the most important thing is your body’s resistance. Going to bed early and getting up early and doing a certain amount of exercise to improve your body’s immunity is the best way. After April, just like after October in China, it gradually gets colder. Generally, a spring and autumn shirt, a sweater and a coat are enough. You can prepare a thin and thick coat.

If you do a lot of outdoor activities, bring sunglasses, sunscreen, and a parasol; if you like traveling, bring a camera (preferably with a waterproof cover), non-slip sneakers or river tracing equipment. There are many places to play. Kariba Lake, Zambezi River, the most famous one is Victoria Falls at the junction of Zambia and Zimba. The place name is Livingston. It was named after a British explorer. It is best to go there from February to April, as there is more water in the rainy season. The water mist is also very strong, and you can see a double-layered rainbow, but you need to bring an extra set of clothes, because your clothes and pants will definitely be wet throughout the entire journey. You can also take helicopters and gliders (USD 120 per person). It is very cool to overlook Victoria Falls at an altitude of 200 to 400 meters. In the evening, you can take the African Queen to watch the sunset along the Zambezi River and get a free dinner.

On the bridge at the junction of Zambia and Zambia, there are three exciting entertainment projects: Bungi (USD 110), Swing (USD 80), and Bridge Slide (USD 35). The three items are packaged for USD 135. I heard that you can see a rainbow ring when bungee jumping, or two rings.
