As a tour guide leading The Taste Of Zambia tour, here are some important tips that I recommend to clients in order to fully enjoy your experience:

Keep an open mind: Zambian cuisine may be different from what you are used to, so it's important to approach it with an open mind and be willing to try new things.

Practice food safety: While we strive to take you to safe and recommended vendors, it's still important to practice food safety. We recommend washing your hands regularly and using hand sanitizer when necessary.

Stay hydrated: In addition to traditional Zambian drinks like Munkoyo and Maheu, it's important to stay hydrated with water. Bring a refillable water bottle if possible.

Wear comfortable clothing and shoes: We will be walking to different vendors and locations, so it's important to wear comfortable clothing and shoes that are appropriate for the weather.

Bring cash or local currency: Many of the vendors and shops we visit may not accept credit cards or foreign currency. It's a good idea to have cash or local currency on hand to make purchases.

Overall, we want you to have a fun and safe experience on The Taste Of Zambia tour. By following these tips, you can fully immerse yourself in the Zambian cuisine and culture.
