Five Zambia Travel Books. Pre-COVID-19 Recreational Reading

Five Zambia Travel Books. Pre-COVID-19 Recreational Reading 

I was scheduled to visit Livingstone, Zambia for a meeting (22nd AETFAT 2020) in March 2020. In preparation for the trip, I read a number of travel guides and accounts of the area. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the trip was cancelled (but currently rescheduled for later in 2020). 


In preparation for that trip, I read a great piece of fiction (The Old Drift) by Namwali Serpell, works by and about David Livingston


The following five books were all interesting and provided some helpful hints in planning for the trip. I hope I can follow up on them!
