Everything you need for stress-free travel

Stay connected across Zambia

Coverage is reliable in Lusaka, Livingstone and the main towns, connecting through a local Zambian network. In South Luangwa, the Lower Zambezi and the other parks and the rural countryside, signal is patchy and often limited to the lodges, so keep offline maps for safari.

Using an eSIM in Zambia

A Zambia eSIM keeps you online for Victoria Falls and safari, from Livingstone to South Luangwa and Lusaka. In the towns you get reliable data as you land, while out in the parks and the bush coverage naturally thins.

Livingstone, the parks and the cities

Lusaka, Livingstone and the main towns are well covered. Out in South Luangwa, the Lower Zambezi and the other national parks, and in the rural countryside, signal is patchy and often limited to the lodges, so download offline maps before you head out on a game drive.

How much data

A week of maps, messaging and photos is often around 5-10GB, with two weeks nearer 10-20GB, and more for heavy use. These are starting points, and actual use varies.

Travel eSIM FAQs

Yes, the capital and the main towns are well covered for maps, messaging and getting around.
WhatsApp, FaceTime and other data-based apps can use your eSIM data in Zambia, subject to the app's own availability and any local restrictions.
Your selected plan can be used across the areas included in its coverage as you travel between the towns and reserves, with signal becoming patchier in national parks and remote countryside.
A week is often around 5-10GB and two weeks nearer 10-20GB, with more for heavier use. These are starting points, and actual use varies.

Top-up availability depends on the plan. Some eSIMs can be topped up, including certain unlimited plans, while others may require a new plan once the current one ends or runs out. Check the individual plan details for your selected option.
