Advice needed - travel to Livingstone, Zambia
After some advice from anyone who has travelled to Zambia. My sister in law booked for her family (five people over 16yo) to go for two weeks volunteering in a village just outside Livingstone. She got a shock when she was quoted over £1200 pp return by a TA to get there. By this point she had booked and paid for the volunteering. (Flaming not necessary thanks).
Anyway, requirement is now to get five adults from the UK (preferably either LON, BHX or MAN) to Livingstone outbound 2nd Aug, in bound 20th Aug +/-2 days. Main driver is cost. They want to avoid difficult airports for connections if possible, I.e. difficult transit processes, lack of facilities, cleanliness (how are Nairobi and Kigali these days?). They are willing to transfer by bus or minibus from Lusaka to Livingstone if it is “safe” to do so.
Many advice at all would be great.
Happy new year.
