Zambia and Zimbabwe will once again issue the Kaza Univisa at their respective borders, with the possibility of Angola, Botswana and Namibia joining the initiative.
According to a joint statement released by the republics of Zambia and Zimbabwe, the two countries are currently addressing challenges faced during the pilot phase in preparation for inviting the other KAZA partner countries, such as Angola, Botswana and Namibia, to join the Univisa Project.
The governments of the two countries appealed to stakeholders to promote and publicise the univisa as it will facilitate easy movement across the five partner countries for all travellers, as well as increase length of stay in the region.
The Kaza Univisa was launched in late 2014 as a pilot scheme initially for six months and later extended for another 6 months up to December 2015. However, the Zambia Tourism Board (ZTB) has advised tour operators and lodge owners in Zambia that the Kaza Univisa project has once again been extended into 2016.
