Thanks for the updated advice.
I have made a few calls to tour companies to get an idea on prices. I had checked hotels but thought maybe something more local.
Bottom line is I amazed what a rip off Zambia is: Visa cost for Brits is sky hi. Flights from Lusaka to VF is $350 US each for 60 mins. Hotel cots are also sky hi.
This is not going to be as cheap as I thought. Hmm Not much change out of £1000.00 for a few nights. I am going to have to consider this one!!
