VEHICLES & ACCESSORIES FOR SELF-DRIVING IN ZAMBIA

This information was provided by the Zambia Tourism team members who travelled around Zambia for four weeks with a trailer. The team drove on major national roads (mostly tarred with potholes in certain sections across the country), minor or more remote gravel and dirt roads, tracks through national parks and mountain escarpments. On some of these roads it was rare to see another car for hours on end, let alone other tourists. Below is a list of some of the equipment that the team would suggest taking, and some other useful advice:

THINGS TO TAKE

OTHER ADVICE FOR SELF-DRIVERS

Toyota is the most common vehicle brand found in Zambia and your best chance of finding spare tyres or parts.

Suspension takes a real beating, so make sure the shocks, springs or coils are in order. If you have the budget, upgrade your suspension and shocks.

An air compressor is a must! Don’t expect to be able to pump your tyres at most fuel stations. You also need to adjust the tyres regularly due to the different road conditions. An air compressor is also great for cleaning dust from inside your car and air filter.
