Zambia Paper Map 1st Edition

Tracks4Africa maps are built for the self-drive traveller and is packed with information that will enable you to plan your next adventure. The Tracks4Africa Zambia paper map is designed to be used in conjunction with the T4A GPS Map of Zambia.

The map scale is 1:1 000 000 which gives you enough detail but also allows for an overview of the country. The map is printed on PolyArt which is tear and water resistant and will survive your adventures with you.

This Tracks4Africa paper map series are probably the first comprehensive country maps in the world, offering travel time information for the entire road network, be it on tar, gravel or sand!

Tracks4Africa CEO, Johann Groenewald, has spent the last nine years exploring all corners of this evergreen country and fell in love with its unspoilt beauty.

The Tracks4Africa paper map of Zambia was bound to be published sooner or later.  We updated our GPS maps for years on end and have send in many research parties to update the minor roads and tracks in the parks of Zambia.  This 1:1million scale map of Zambia is now the most up to date printed map for the self-drive traveller available.

You will find that all major and minor roads are included together with a vast network of minor gravel and off-road tracks in the rural areas.  All national parks and game reserves are covered and more prominent parks such as the Kafue, Liuwa Plain and South Luangwa has detailed inserts.  We have also shown the locations of major tourist attractions and land marks.

Zambia’s country shape does not lend itself to be printed on one side of a our standard paper size.  We aim to bring a lot of detail into our maps and therefor we print country maps on a scale of 1:1 million which necessitates the country to be split in east and west sides and printed on both sides of the paper.

This allows enough additional space to include the very popular areas adjacent to Zambia such as Katima Mulilo in Nambia, Kasane and Chobe in Botswana, Victoria Falls and Mana Pools in Zimbabwe.

Key features:

• Large 1:1,000,000 scale (large double-sided map)
• Travel times and distances shown on roads
• Large paper map, printed on both sides folds down to easy to use size. Packed in a plastic sleeve for extra protection.
• What you see on the paper map is exactly what you get on T4A GPS Maps
• Comprehensive set of roads and tracks in nature reserves
• Map designed to suit the needs of self-drive travellers
• Border crossings indicated with opening and closing times
• Visit www.tracks4africa.com for detail on places of interest
• Printed on tear and water resistant PolyArt paper suitable for outdoor use
• Shaded relief background

The roads, tracks, places of interest as well as the distance data and travel time estimates on the map reflect the collective travel experience of the Tracks4Africa community of travellers over the past 10 years, with every single road being GPS recorded and verified by this community.

In addition to this the Tracks4Africa research team has also driven every major road and visited every single park in the country to verify details.

No need to transfer GPS coordinates from the map to your GPS as everything you see on the map is contained in our T4A GPS Maps. Use T4A GPS Maps to navigate you to all the destinations you see on this country map.

    I’m a book person; love reading. So, to hold this high-quality book and smell the paper was the enjoyable start of a journey. This is definitely a guide, guiding you from preparations, what to expect and what to have with you, guiding you into the planning of your route. Useful tips are provided and maps are detailed and clear and easy to understand. It has lovely pics of the country. Lodge and campsite listings are easy to read and packed with info. Although I have the GPS maps, I will not undertake this journey without this book and fold-out map in my house to prepare with and in my car as a reference and backup.

    This really is a very helpful guide! It arrived within 24hrs and we were extremely impressed. The information is very up to date and well presented. Helpful tips and advice on everything from detailed border crossings to how to prepare your vehicle for a long self-drive adventure. We particularly enjoy the suggested routes and the practical approach , enabling you to decide if the route or detour may be too adventurous and hectic or just right. In conjunction with the fold out map, I am sure our trip with book and map is going to be the trip of a life time. Thanks for really superb research and product!

    I received my Zambia bundle in less than 24 hours after placing my order, great service, thank you. But best of all I was really impressed by the Zambia Self Drive Guide Book. It is very easy to access specific areas of interest and plan route options. The info is up to date, well presented and with helpful photos. I really liked the accomodation listings and touring routes which gives distances and travel times. The guide is packed with useful tips to make the planning and exploring Zambia really easy. A must buy for the novice and seasoned visitor to Zambia. Thanks T4A for a well presented info pack. John Loughead
