WARNING WARNING - ZAMBIA TRAVEL

For some odd reason the Presidnet of Zambia has decided it's against the law for businesses, including the airlines, to accept US dollars. This problem wwas further complicated by the fact that businesses, including the airlines, will not accept credit cards any longer.

Rumor has it this problem will be resolved in the near future but it really affected my trip.

Somewhat embarrasing to take the PH and business partner out to dinner on your departure night and then not be able to pay the bill.

Spoke to the President and he reckons this does not apply to your trophy fees.

Quite a good move?

Should have ordered the crayfish.
