How it works
Simple steps, clear answers
You do not need a detailed brief to get started. A rough idea of what you need is enough for us to work with.
Tell us what you need
Send a WhatsApp message or an email with your situation, your dates and what you would like help with.
We check what applies
We come back with a clear answer: what is possible, what information or documents we need and what it costs.
We coordinate the work
Where we can handle a step directly, we do. Where a licensed professional or a government office is needed, we coordinate and keep you updated.
You get a clear next step
You always know what has been done, what is still pending and what you need to do next.
Why a local partner
Arranging Zambia from another country is harder than it needs to be
Time zones, unfamiliar place names and offices that may not answer your email. A local contact takes that off your desk.
You should not have to learn the whole Zambian administrative system to get one thing done. We help you understand the part that matters to you, then handle the follow-up.
- Someone on the ground who answers. Your questions go to a person in Zambia, not a call centre in a different time zone.
- Local knowledge that saves time. Which office handles what, how long a trip across town really takes, which supplier will deliver on the day.
- One point of contact. You message one person instead of chasing an office, a driver and a printer separately.
- Arranged around your schedule. Your plans drive the work, not a fixed package.
- Help before you arrive. Timings, confirmations and costs settled while you are still at home.
Business travel
For business visitors
Many people come to Zambia to work: meetings in Lusaka, a site visit outside town, a week of negotiations, or a project that needs someone reliable on the ground.
- Airport pickup arranged with a local driver who knows your schedule
- Help keeping meetings and site visits on time
- Printing, binding and document preparation, including last-minute changes
- Local errands and supplier coordination while you are in meetings
- Support for consultants and company representatives who need to hit the ground running
We do not sit in your meetings. We make sure you arrive prepared, on time, with the practical side already handled.
Tourism and travel
For tourists and first-time visitors
If you are visiting Zambia for the first time, the practical side can take more planning than you expect, especially when you are arranging it yourself from overseas.
- Local orientation when you land: getting a SIM card, money and finding your way around
- Transport that fits your plans, by the day or for the whole trip
- Help planning an itinerary that works with real travel times
- Coordinating activities and day trips
- Straight answers about what is worth your time
We are not a tour operator and we do not sell safari packages. If you want a guided trip or a lodge booking, we will help you work out what fits your dates and coordinate the local arrangements around it.
Conferences and events
For conference and event visitors
Events in Zambia bring in delegates, speakers and exhibitors who all need to reach the same places at the same time. That is usually where the pressure sits.
- Airport transfers timed to arrivals, including late-night flights
- Group transport between hotels and the venue
- Printing of programmes, badges, signage and handouts
- On-site coordination and errands so your team stays with the event
- Interpreters, photography and videography where available
If you are organising the event, we work alongside your team. If you are attending, we make sure you get where you need to be.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
If your question is not here, ask us directly. It is usually quicker than reading.
Can you register a company for me in Zambia?
We help you prepare and coordinate a company or business name registration with PACRA, the Patents and Companies Registration Agency. We are not PACRA and we cannot make the decision. We explain the steps, check your information, submit or coordinate the application and follow up. We will tell you clearly what we handle and what you or a licensed professional must handle.
Do I need to be in Zambia to register a company?
Often you can start the process from outside Zambia, but the requirements depend on the type of company and current PACRA rules. Some steps may need certified documents, a local address or a person on the ground. Tell us your situation and we will confirm what is likely to be needed before you pay anything.
Which registrations does a new business need?
It depends on your entity type, whether you employ people, your industry and the law that applies to you. A tax number (TPIN) from ZRA is common. NAPSA, NHIMA, Workers' Compensation and a business licence may also apply. We help you check, but we do not claim that every business needs every registration.
Can you help with a work permit or residence permit?
We can explain the general process, help you prepare information and coordinate with the Department of Immigration or a qualified immigration professional. We do not guarantee approvals and we are not a licensed immigration consultancy. The authorities decide each application.
Can you arrange airport pickup?
Yes. We arrange pickup and drop-off at Lusaka's Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN), including late-night and early-morning flights requested in advance. Send us your flight details and where you are staying, and we will confirm what can be arranged before you travel.
Do you provide transport?
We arrange transport through local drivers and vehicle providers we work with, from a single airport transfer to a driver for several days. We will tell you what is included and what it costs before you confirm anything.
Can you support conference delegates?
Yes. We help with airport transfers, group transport between hotels and venues, printing of event materials and on-site coordination during the event. For larger groups, the earlier you tell us the numbers and the schedule, the better.
Do you provide accommodation?
We are not a booking agency and we do not own hotels. We help you choose an area that suits your trip, coordinate with hotels, lodges and guesthouses, and help sort things out with a provider if something needs attention.
Can you help tourists as well as business travellers?
Yes, we work with both. For tourists that usually means transport, orientation when you arrive, help planning a realistic itinerary and practical assistance while you are in the country.
Which parts of Zambia do you cover?
Our base is Lusaka. We can also arrange transport and local coordination in other parts of Zambia through providers we work with. Tell us your route, dates and what you need and we will confirm what can be arranged.
How do I request assistance?
Message us on WhatsApp or send an email with your situation, your dates and what you need help with. We will reply with what is possible and what it costs. There are no forms to fill in and no account to create.
How far in advance should I get in touch?
For simple travel arrangements, a few days is usually enough. For company registration, statutory registrations, relocation or events, earlier is better. Some government steps take time, and we would rather plan around them than rush.
Contact
Tell us what you need
WhatsApp is usually the fastest way to reach us. Email works too, and it is better if you want to send documents or a detailed schedule.

Helpful things to include
- What you want to do, in your own words

- Your type of business or the service you need
- Any deadline you are working towards
You do not need to have it all worked out. A rough outline is enough to start, and we will ask about anything we still need.
