Zambia Etiquette

When considering etiquette in Zambia, it’s best to dress conservatively while travelling. Avoid overly revealing clothing, though of course, when on safari, dress comfortably in either shorts or trousers. Be aware that tipping for service is officially illegal in Zambia, although most hotels and restaurants add a 10% service fee to the bill. It is customary, however, to tip tour guides, game rangers, and trackers, as they rely heavily on tips for their income. (It is difficult to find any info on proper etiquette in Zambia - perhaps you have a specialist who can offer some more advice?)
