Historical and Cultural Sites
History buffs should visit Chitambo Mission where Dr. Overall I expected more. The historical site of the british history in Kalomo needs to be prepared better by the government. Museums (Choma/Livingstone) und culturell exhibition (Livingstone: Mukini Village, Maramba Culturll Village).
Getting Around Zambia
Getting around Zambia's pretty flexible though internal flights between major spots and safari destinations can be a bit pricey that's something our travelers often mention.

- “Thank you, Alick (driver) and Hest (guide), for a wonderful time. Hest was very knowledgeable and informative in explaining about the animals, trees, plants. At times I was amazed at the amount of her knowledge, specially with the animals. I know more now than before the tour started. Alick and Hest worked great together. At times (on the road) when we see an animal/special tree, Alick would pull over, and Hest would give information about them. Overall, it’ was a good tour.”
