As a Swedish passport holder, you're fortunate to enjoy visa-free entry into Zambia, allowing for stays of up to 30 days, perfect for a safari adventure. While you won't need to pre-apply for a visa, remember that the local currency, the Zambian Kwacha (ZMW), will be essential for your daily expenses, and it's wise to have some US dollars on hand as they are widely accepted. Flights typically connect through major European hubs like Amsterdam or Frankfurt, making the journey manageable, and arriving in Lusaka will place you in a time zone 1 hour ahead of Sweden.
