Major Airports & Gateways
Lusaka (LUN): Located in Lusaka, it serves as the country’s primary gateway for international flights, connecting Zambia to major African hubs, Europe, and the Middle East.
Livingstone (LVI): Located in Livingstone, it is the main airport for travelers visiting Victoria Falls and nearby tourist attractions, with international flights mainly from regional African cities.
Other Airports: Airports such as Ndola (NLA), Kitwe (KIW), Chipata (CIP), and Solwezi (SLI) have limited or no direct international service; most international travelers use Lusaka, Ndola, or Livingstone and connect domestically.
Best Time to Fly
The best time to fly to Zambia is during the dry season, from May to October, when the weather is cooler, rainfall is minimal, and wildlife is easier to spot in national parks like South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi. July and August are especially popular because temperatures are mild and conditions are ideal for safaris and walking tours. Traveling during the shoulder months of May, June, September, or October can offer a good balance of pleasant weather, lower crowds, and slightly better airfare deals. The rainy season, from November to April, is generally less ideal for travel, as heavy rains can make roads and safari trails difficult to navigate, although the landscapes are lush and green during this time.
