This landlocked South African country is famous for its diverse wildlife, pristine wilderness areas, and exciting safaris with up-close-and-personal opportunities to see your favorite animals.

A Zambia eSIM (downloadable SIM card) connects your device to a local network, giving you affordable prepaid mobile data.
How much travel data do I need with my Zambia eSIM?
How much data will you use in Zambia? Well, that depends on a few things.
How often do you spend on your phone when you’re at home? How long do you usually spend on your phone when you’re on vacation? And will you be close to your accommodations (and free Wi-Fi) most of the time, or out exploring?
You can use your free travel data calculator to help you estimate how much data you’ll need for your trip to Zambia.
Will I pay roaming charges with a prepaid eSIM for Zambia?
None! With a Zambia eSIM, you won’t pay any roaming charges because it connects you directly to a local network.
But please make sure you’ve turned off Data Roaming on your primary SIM (and confirmed you aren’t enrolled in a carrier travel plan) to prevent your home carrier from adding roaming charges to your next bill.
