Proflight Zambia’s Lusaka services also connect to:
• Mansa: Access to Lake Bangweulu for birdwatching, fishing, and boat tours.
• Kasama: Near Chishimba Falls, the Mwela Rock Paintings, and Lake Tanganyika, known for fishing and snorkelling.
Josias Walubita, director of flight operations at Proflight Zambia, explains: "As a proudly Zambian airline that closely monitors seasonal travel trends, we consistently assess our route performance and adapt to meet passenger demand. Increasing the Livingstone–Lusaka frequency gives our customers more flexibility and less transit time.
"This, along with our detailed safari season timetable, ensures that travellers—from those arriving on our new Cape Town–Livingstone service launched in December 2024 to our long-standing routes—can reach Zambia's iconic attractions more efficiently."
"With Victoria Falls at its most dramatic in April and our national parks offering some of the world’s best safari lodges, now is the ideal time for South African travellers to experience Zambia’s unique blend of natural beauty and adventure," he added.
