The seasonal schedule gives South African travellers another way to combine Zambia and Namibia, with flights operating via Livingstone during the April-to-October peak tourism season.
South African travellers planning to visit both Zambia and Namibia can use Proflight Zambia’s Lusaka–Windhoek service to travel between the two countries in either direction. Flights will operate non-stop from November 2026 to March 2027, saving travellers approximately one hour in travel time. From April to October 2027 – peak tourism season in Livingstone, Zambia’s gateway to Victoria Falls – flights will route via Livingstone. Passengers travelling between Windhoek and Livingstone can book the journey as a single itinerary.
For example, travellers could fly from Johannesburg to Lusaka, explore Zambia, then continue to Windhoek before returning to South Africa. The journey can also be planned in reverse, starting in Namibia and flying from Windhoek to Lusaka before exploring Zambia. Furthermore, travellers flying from Windhoek can connect through Lusaka to Proflight Zambia’s domestic network, including Livingstone, Mfuwe, and Ndola. Connections depend on travel dates and schedules.
Captain Josias Walubita, Proflight Zambia’s Director of Government and Industry Affairs, said: “This change reflects our continued efforts to tailor our services to passenger demand and travel patterns, making journeys between the two capitals quicker and more convenient.”
During November and December 2026, flights will depart Lusaka at 10:35 on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, arriving in Windhoek at 12:40. Return flights will depart Windhoek at 13:20 and arrive in Lusaka at 15:30. From 2027, the operating days will change to Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
“Passengers travelling to Livingstone can still connect easily through Lusaka using our existing domestic flights,” said Captain Walubita. “This means we are making travel between Zambia and Namibia more direct, while ensuring that Livingstone, one of Zambia’s key tourism destinations, remains easily accessible to both local and international travellers throughout the year.”
For South African travellers, Proflight Zambia also operates services between Johannesburg and Lusaka, and between Cape Town and Lusaka via Livingstone. These routes offer additional options when planning a wider trip through the region.
