Best Time to Visit:
The best time to travel to Zambia for game viewing is September and October as game gather around perennial water holes or rivers. If you travel between June and August, you’re also bound to have good game sightings.
The best time to visit Victoria Falls is after the rainy season (April and May). The spray may obscure your view slightly.

At the end of the dry season (October to December), the water levels are low, and you can sit in a rock pool and cautiously peer over the edge.

For high adventure enthusiasts, the best time to go whitewater rafting is when the waters of the Zambezi River are low (generally from August to December).

Tipping:
Tipping in Zambia is not customary, but is surely appreciated. When in doubt, 10% will do just fine.

Social Customs:
Zambians still value traditional communal ideals such as reciprocity within a household, the extended family, the neighbourhood, the clan, and a formal political system of chieftainship. Changes in the modern arena have been too uneven to reduce Zambians’ dependence on one another, so they often exercise umucinshi, a Bemba term for mutual respect, when negotiating favors.
