One Visa Tourism Initiative – Connecting the Southern African Region 

Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe are set to revolutionise tourism with the introduction of a groundbreaking Schengen-style visa. This new initiative aims to simplify travel across the region, boosting tourism and economic growth.

The multi-entry visa will allow tourists to seamlessly explore the diverse landscapes, wildlife, and cultures of these five countries. This move is expected to significantly increase visitor numbers, particularly in border regions such as the Zambezi River that divides Zambia and Zimbabwe. For instance, hotels like Avani Victoria Falls Resort, located minutes from the colossal waterfall and a premier Livingstone Resort in Zambia, can anticipate increased bookings as travellers explore its surrounding attractions across national borders.

The visa is scheduled to be implemented in the coming months, promising a new era of travel convenience for visitors to Southern Africa.
