  • 2.4 Zambia Railway Assessment
    2.4 Zambia Railway Assessment Travel Time Matrix Railway Companies and Consortia Capacity Table Key Route Information Key Stations The Zambia National Railways are very important to the economy of the country as it is a bulk carrier with less effect on the environment than many other transport modes. The Government intends to expand its railway network in the country to develop the surface transport sector. Through the Ministry of Transport, a new statutory instrument (SI) was passed, which requires industries to move 30% of their carriage by rail. This is in a bid to decongest the road sector and possibly reduce the damage done by heavy duty trucks on Zambian roads. The development of rail routes linking important exit points is not only vital for facilitating smooth access to the outside but also for the overall boosting of trade in the sub-region and making Zambia a competitive country for business. Traditionally, the Zambian railways have generally operated well below their original design capacity, yet significant investment is underway to increase their volumes by investing in track conditions, increase locomotive and wagon availability and increase operating capital. The rail network remains the dominant mode of transportation for goods on the local and international routes but is under-utilized. The main railway lines are the Zambia Railways, owned by Government and the TAZARA line, linking Zambia with Tanzania, and jointly owned by the Zambian and Tanzanian governments. The opening of the Chipata-Mchinji railway link provides connectivity into the Malawi and Mozambique railway network and further connects Zambia to the port of Nacala.

  • Victoria Falls Day Tours & Excursions from Livingstone Day Tour
    Victoria Falls Day Tours & Excursions from Livingstone Day Tour & Excursion Prices 2019 This document summarizes some of our recommended excursions & tours at Victoria Falls, if you are staying on the Zambian side. It doesn’t aim to cover absolutely everything you can do but it gives you our candid opinions. Most of the excursions below are available from either side of the Victoria Falls. If it is only available on Zimbabwe, we’ve included here as well. With the new Uni-Visa, there’s not much to stop you from enjoying activities on either side of the Victoria Falls. Times & prices of the excursions may vary by specific supplier so these prices & timings may differ slightly at time of confirmation. Water levels can also influence whether some of the water-based excursions are available at your time of travel. Note: The Zambia excursion prices below assume that you are staying at one of the Falls Resort Hotels eg The Royal Livingstone or Avani Zambezi Resort (called RLH/Avani from now on). If you are staying at one of the riverside lodges, there will be extra transfer costs (but usually these lodges transfer their guests to the various activities). Similarly there may be extra transfer and park fee costs from the David Livingstone Safari Lodge.

Sawka, Christopher Mbewe, Daka Josephat, and Jacob Schwertfeger Toka-Leya of Zambia Southern Province Livingstone, Kazungula, Zimba, and Kalomo Districts Kenneth S. Sawka, Christopher Mbewe, Daka Josephat, and Jacob Schwertfeger SIL International® 2019 SIL Electronic Survey Report 2019-003, May 2019 © 2019 SIL International® All rights reserved Data and materials collected by researchers in an era before documentation of permission was standardized may be included in this publication. SIL makes diligent efforts to identify and acknowledge sources and to obtain appropriate permissions wherever possible, acting in good faith and on the best information available at the time of publication. Abstract The language group investigated in this survey is the Toka-Leya of Zambia’s Southern Province which is located in Livingstone and Kazungula Districts as well as parts of Zimba and Kalomo Districts. Recent surveys listed over 55,000 speakers of Toka-Leya. The purposes of the 2013 research included exploring the relationships between the Toka-Leya language and related languages such as Tonga, Ila, Lozi, Nkoya, Lenje, Kunda, Nsenga and Soli. Another purpose was to obtain information on the language in order to assess the need for a language development project. Some anthropological and historical data which was collected is also included. The Toka-Leya language is often described as a dialect of Tonga [toi] that includes many Lozi words. Our analysis shows that Toka-Leya is a distinct language. It shares only 62% lexical similarity with Tonga and 17% lexical similarity with Lozi.

    The International Journal of Multi-Disciplinary Research ISSN: 3471-7102, ISBN: 978-9982-70-318-5 An Assessment of Service Quality and Customer Satisfaction levels in Railway Industries: A Case Study of Tanzania Zambia Railway Authority (Tazara) Passenger Train in Zambia. (Paper ID:CFP/1421/2019) Author: Chrispine Chola Mulenga Advisor: Saviour Lusaya [email protected] or [email protected] [email protected] School of and Business/Humanities School of and Business/Humanities Information and Communications University Information and Communications University Lusaka, Zambia. Lusaka, Zambia. Abstract Rail transport plays a critical role in the development of any country. With its inherent advantage of being bulk carrier, safer and cheaper, rail transport is an important component in intermodal transportation. It is also more environmentally friendly, has less congestion and has a better fuel efficiency than other modes of transport. A poorly utilised railway adversely affects transport system and leads to decreased contribution to the country’s economy. Customer satisfaction and retention is one of the key determinants to measure the quality of products or services in the railway industry. Due to the growing importance of quality in our life, customers desire to enjoy a relatively better quality of products and services. Therefore, the rapid population growth in Zambia has contributed to an increase of people travelling demands. In Zambia, Passenger trains are the cheapest and comfortable mode of travelling especially for long distances. Hence, in today’s world, the companies who do not provide value to their customers bring an opportunity for the competitors to steal these customers. Service quality has been viewed as a determinant of customer satisfaction.
