The Roads

Driving in Zambia sounds like a real-life game of "Frogger" mixed with an extreme pothole obstacle course! It's like the universe said, "Let's throw in some surprises," and voila, potholes everywhere! The roads are a masterclass in unpredictability, just like trying to predict the weather during Zambia's rainy season.

The Great North Road is like the ultimate road trip adventure: from bustling city life to the serene wilds of North Luangwa National Park, you never know what's around the next corner—maybe a bustling market or a serene river crossing (or another surprise pothole!).

And the road to South Luangwa? Buckle up for a rollercoaster ride that tests your vehicle's suspension and your own nerves. It's like Zambia's version of a thrill ride—with the added bonus of encountering some of Africa's most incredible wildlife at South Luangwa National Park.

So, if you're planning to navigate these roads on a self-driving safari, pack your sense of humor along with that sturdy 4x4 vehicle. You'll need it for the potholes that could make even a hippo feel at home in the mud pits! It's all part of the adventure, right?
