The flying scene is very seasonal. Most flying happens during the winter to the game parks and lower Zambezi etc. as in summer, it rains and rains. Living conditions are allright, good shopping centres in Lusake and Livingstone. Prices of food stuffs etc. can be pricy. The local beer is Mozi. Zambeef is the best meat on the planet (my opinion) and the steakes are huge. The local Zambians are very friendly and polite and they are helpfull. Generally its OK in Zambia. Watch out for Malaria though. Ndola is the main mining town in the copper belt. Infrastructure is basic. Dont drink water from the tap, rather buy bottled water.
