Visiting Liuwa and other Parks in Zambia

[Laevelder]

Can somebody advise me please?
Can we purchase raw meat in Botswana and transport it via Namibia into Zambia?. Private use.

Depends your route, as long as you travel north thr the vet fences, it should not be an issue.

As Johan said, with two provisos: the first is that if there is an outbreak of foot-and-mouth in the region, all cross-border carrying of raw meat from cloven-hoofed animals will be banned; and second is that there are vet checkpoints in Caprivi where the officials can be pretty relentless in confiscating meat, regardless of the current situation vis-a-vis disease control.

If you want to play it safe, there is a big Shop Shoprite Specialsrite in Mongu that sells Zambeef products. If you go through Livingstone, the Spar Specials and Shoprite Catalogue have reasonable meat, although I find that the Spar is usually better. If you are going further north (Luangwa etc) Lusaka has all the usual SA supermarkets with pretty good Zambian beef.

That thread should NOT be in the "Central Africa" section, rather Bot, Nam or Zam or in the general overland part.
