1 mission of Zambia in Cyprus: Consulate of Zambia in Limassol, Cyprus. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr Costas N. Lefkaritis, Honorary Consul (as of 2010)
Zambia is an appealing destination for some Cypriot travelers, thanks to its stunning natural attractions and vibrant culture. The highlight is Victoria Falls, a renowned natural wonder that attracts adventure seekers and nature lovers. With around 500,000 Cypriots traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Zambia an intriguing option for their travels.
Zambia is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Cyprus. According to the Global Peace Index, Zambia ranks 55th out of 160 countries, which is better than Cyprus's ranking of 86th. However, it's important to note that while Zambia has a higher murder rate (5.4 per 100,000 people) compared to Cyprus (1.3), the overall safety perception is more favorable in Zambia. Crime statistics indicate that both countries face challenges with organized crime, but Zambia has slightly better scores in areas such as mafia presence (Zambia 3.0 vs. Cyprus 3.5) and human smuggling (Zambia 3.0 vs. Cyprus 6.0). In summary, while there are some safety concerns in Zambia, it is viewed as a safer option overall compared to Cyprus in terms of general peace and safety for tourists. Travelers should remain vigilant and informed about their surroundings, as they would in any country.
