Vaccinations Zambia

Planning a trip to Zambia soon? Preparing well can help make your holiday enjoyable and safe. It is important to note that visiting Zambia carries certain health risks, so vaccinations are recommended and may even be mandatory. The vaccinations you will need depend on factors such as the regions you will be visiting and the length of your stay. Simply make an appointment with us to get personalised travel advice.

Zambia is located in Africa and shares borders with Tanzania, Malawi, Namibia, and Botswana. The country has a wide variety of landscapes, including plateaus, rivers, hills, basins, and waterfalls. The abundance of water and the differences in elevation create stunning natural phenomena, with the impressive Victoria Falls being the highlight.
