We will include Zambia into a future extended safari
through Southern Africa.
The main roads appear to be in good condition in general,
the people are very friendly and there are positive
signs of economic activity everywhere. The numerous
charcoal depots are however a serious concern for
the environment in general.
Once you venture off the main routes the roads deteriorate
drastically, for example the road to Shiwa Ngandu
(Kapishya Hotsprings). The end destination is however
worth the effort to get there – we got the same comments
from other travelers regarding the rest of Zambia.
