Common scam patterns — Zambia
Last updated:
Editorial notice
Patterns documented from public scam reports and provider feedback. New patterns emerge; report new ones to us via /contact.
- Wildlife 'sanctuaries' near Livingstone that allow tourist contact — refuse.
- 'Walking with lions' programs (the canned-hunting feed pipeline is documented in Zambia and South Africa).
- Childcare and orphanage programs — documented pattern.
- Victoria Falls-plus-volunteering packages where the tourism is the real product.
