Foreign Office Advice:

Travellers should be vigilant.
Armed theft of vehicles,
especially those with four
wheel drive, is increasing.
This is sometimes accompanied
by personal violence.

Driving out of town at night
should be avoided as other
vehicles are poorly lit and
the state of roads can be
dangerous.

Medical facilities and
communications are poor
outside urban areas and
emergency facilities limited.

For further advice contact the
British High Commission,
Lusaka (Tel: 251133).
