The Chambeshi River in Zambia is the source of the Congo River, making it a geographically significant, though relatively undeveloped, tourist destination. Visits are best undertaken with a guided tour due to the remoteness and potential for wildlife encounters. Accessibility may be limited, especially during the rainy season (typically November to April), which can cause flooding. The cost of a visit can vary widely depending on the tour operator and duration, but expect to factor in transportation to and from Kasama, accommodation, and guide fees. A typical visit could range from a day trip to several days depending on the desired level of exploration. Solo travel is generally discouraged due to safety and logistical considerations. Expect costs to be moderate, depending on travel choices.
