About the Zambia visa

Zambia is home to Victoria Falls, walking safaris in South Luangwa and canoeing on the Lower Zambezi. Indian passport holders can apply for a Zambian e-Visa online.

Stays of 30 to 90 days are offered, depending on the visa. The KAZA UniVisa may also cover Zambia and Zimbabwe for travellers visiting both sides of Victoria Falls, where available.
