Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN) is selected. Allow for a road transfer into Lusaka.

Before you book

Allow for the airport-to-city journey

Zambia Airports Corporation places Kenneth Kaunda airport outside Lusaka's central business district. Confirm your pickup to the actual home, hotel or meeting venue. Share your flight number, local landing date and luggage details, and leave flexibility before the first appointment after arrival.

Coordinate onward air and road travel

If your next stop requires another flight, check the departure terminal, baggage allowance and ticket arrangement before choosing a connection. For a longer road journey, ask your operator about seasonal access. The FCDO notes that flooding can affect Zambia's roads and bridges during rainy periods.

Include border crossings in the document check

An itinerary combining Zambia with neighbouring countries needs entry checks for each crossing, including any return to Zambia. Use current FCDO guidance and the relevant immigration authorities for your passport. Confirm whether your chosen permission covers the intended route instead of relying on a general regional description.

Questions and answers

Which Lusaka airport is used for this quote?

Kenneth Kaunda International Airport, code LUN, is the selected arrival. Give that code to your driver and check it against any separately booked onward flight before finalising transport.

Can I include Livingstone in the same trip?

Tell us your preferred sequence and dates in both places. Lusaka and Livingstone have separate airports, so compare the connecting flight or road journey alongside different arrival and departure options.

Should I book a tight connection to a smaller aircraft?

Check the operator's reporting time, luggage restrictions and arrangements if the international flight is late. Share those details with us; a longer connection or overnight may better suit a separately booked onward sector.
