Okay, so I’ve been planning a trip to Zambia, and let me tell you, figuring out the holidays was a bit of a task! Here’s how I went about it, hopefully, it helps someone else out there.
First Steps: The Obvious Search
First things first, I fired up Google. You know, the usual “Zambia public holidays 2024” search. I got a bunch of results, but they were all from different websites, and honestly, some looked a little… sketchy. I wanted something I could trust.
Digging Deeper: Finding Reliable Sources
So, I started looking for official government websites. It took a bit of clicking around, but I eventually found the website for the Zambian Ministry of Labour and Social Security. Bingo! I figured they’d be the most accurate source. The site was a little clunky to navigate, but I persevered.
I found a section on “public holidays” but it was last year lists.I want 2024 * my god!
Found it!
Then, I decided to just call the hotel I have a booking with and asked them for help with finding the holidays.
Finally, they help me list 2024 zambia holidays.
