Why use an eSIM in Zambia?
Zambia is home to one of the world's greatest natural wonders — Victoria Falls — as well as outstanding safari destinations in South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi national parks. Whether you are based in Lusaka, exploring Livingstone, or heading out on a game drive, a local Zambia eSIM keeps you connected at local rates without the expensive Canadian roaming fees that apply to Southern African travel.
Common Questions
Does eSIM coverage work near Victoria Falls?
Coverage is generally available in Livingstone and the main Victoria Falls viewing areas. More remote parts of the national parks and wilderness regions will have limited or no signal.
Which plan offers the best coverage in Zambia?
Plans built on major Zambian mobile networks typically provide the best coverage across cities and main tourist corridors.
How much data do I need for a Zambia trip?
A mid-size plan is suitable for most visits. Safari regions will have very limited connectivity, so download offline maps before heading into the bush.
Does a Zambia eSIM work in Zimbabwe or Botswana?
No. A Zambia eSIM covers Zambia only. If your trip includes Victoria Falls from the Zimbabwe side or other neighbouring countries, you will need a separate plan.
Can I keep my Canadian number while using this eSIM?
Yes, but to avoid any roaming charges, turn your Canadian carrier line off entirely in your phone's cellular settings before you land — do not rely on disabling data roaming alone, as some charges can still be triggered. Do not use Airplane Mode, as this disables your eSIM too. Use your eSIM for all data, and use WhatsApp, FaceTime, or iMessage for calls and messages. If you need to receive an OTP or two-factor text, turn your Canadian line on briefly, then off again. When you return home, turn it back on and everything returns to normal.
