The first section from Lusaka is two to three hours by road in an air-conditioned vehicle (operated by Tours Africa), heading south from Lusaka and winding through the hills of the Zambezi Escarpment. After crossing the mighty Zambezi River at the bustling border town of Chirundu, clear Zambian and Zimbabwean customs & immigration at a central point. As soon as formalities are complete (an average of 30 minutes), change vehicles and transfer by road with Go Fish Marine to the jetty (about 5 minutes).
