Bonjour, nous sommes en Tanzanie et nous allons arriver en Zambie par le train. Puis nous voulons faire de Kapiri M Poshi à Livingston en vélo avec nos deux enfants de 7 et 10 ans. Après Livingston nous partirons vers Sesheke.
Si vous avez des informations sur la route, des bons plans pour dormir vraiment pas cher (nous avons une tente et tout le matériel nécessaire pour dormir...), ou mieux, si vous pouvez nous accueillir pour une nuit afin d'échanger sur nos expériences... se serait très sympa.

Pour allez voir les chutes Victoria, est il mieux de dormir sur Livingston et de descendre en bus ou dormir aux chutes ? Doit-on passer au Zimbabwe ? si oui quel est le prix du visa ?

Merci d'avance pour toutes infos nous sommes preneurs !
A bientôt peut-être

Hi, I have cycled nearly all of Zambia.

From Kapiri -> Lusaka will take you likely 3 days depending on your fitness level and how your children are doing. The roads get very busy once you leave Kabwe and head into Lusaka - although the other alternative is to take the dirt roads from Chisama into the city, although they are of varying conditions and your children again...

You'll be able to sleep in the bush without issue - there is ample Farmland in the area, and not any wild animals you need to really worry about. Come Lusaka it would be best you had a contact for a place to stay. Then its 500 some odd kilometres to Livingstone. Along the way there is a couple good climbs for you, but modereately easy, the road is in decent condition with wide shoulders. Try sleeping at the Police station before Mazabuko on the right hand side, There are two truck stops on the left hand side after you pass Choma, both will let you camp there.

Visa regulations are different per passport holder. Since I am Canadian it is $75 to cross into Zimbabwe. I enjoy Victoria falls on the Zambian side more.

Regards, Dave
