Backpacking Low Cost in Zambia 🇿🇲- Best SIM card in Zambia. How to get on a budget from Tunduma border to Isoke

1$- k28

Once we entered Zambia we went to buy a SIM card. You can also buy it from the street vendors but it will not be registered on your name.

 2 km away from Tunduma border there is an Airtel Shop office. The process of buying the SIM card took about 10 minutes. The internet bundles are cheaper compared to Tanzania.

 Airtel SIM card - k5

 

 Some of the best offers for bundle:

 Midnight bundle - 1.5GB - k5

 1 hour - 3GB - k5

 7 days - 1.5GB - k10

From Tunduma border we took a shared car - 8 people for 5 seats - to Isoke for k200.

Tunduma border - shared private car to Isoke

Departure- 4pm

Arriving- 8pm

Price for 110km - k200/person

There are not too many bus companies operating like in Tanzania, so people use to share private cars. 

We made 110 km in 4 hours and by the time we arrived it was dark.

 Zambia has a major problem with the electricity, so each region has a timetable for supplying energy.

 The driver left us at Forte Villa and we took a room for k400 (big room, wifi, hot water). They had a generator that was working till midnight.
