Tour in Details

Why Zambian Travelers Love Vietnam – Especially Ho Chi Minh City

So what is it about Vietnam and specifically Ho Chi Minh City that draws travelers from Zambia in their thousands? It’s not just breathtaking vistas, either; it’s a sense of cultural sync-up, the ease of engagement, the comfort with being embraced as kin. These very values are taken into account when we tailor our Ho Chi Minh City tours from Zambia.

Cultural Harmony

Zambian visitors tend to find themselves at home in Vietnam because we are both countries that respect community, tradition, and family life. From the bustling street markets to the tranquillity of ancient temples, Ho Chi Minh City Tours introduce you to a society where values such as respect, unity, and gratitude are deeply ingrained, just like back home in Zambia. Zambian guests tell us that when they are in Vietnam, whether enjoying traditional Vietnamese water puppet shows or participating in bamboo craft workshops, ‘This is so familiar, but beautifully different’.

Nature Connection

For travelers who romanticize solitude in nature, Ho Chi Minh City has a pleasant surprise: just a short drive from dragon fruit fields and busy markets are green spaces, both riverside and forested, ideal for respite. Our Ho Chi Minh City tours from Zambia take you on tranquil boat rides through the organic fields of Cu Chi and the verdant countryside trails, even ecological tours to Can Gio, the kinds of places where you can take a deep breath, slow down, and reconnect with the elements.

Cuisine Compatibility

Cuisine is a signature of your journey, and we make it easy. Food on our Ho Chi Minh City Tours has no pork, is non-spicy, and is made from fresh ingredients. If dishes like ga hap la chanh (steamed chicken with lime leaves), ca kho to (braised fish), and stir-fried vegetables with beef are healthy and filling, they’re also simply a great source of comfort. Most Zambian patrons say it’s among the best they’ve eaten abroad!

Hospitality Match

When Vietnamese warmth meets Zambian friendliness, there’s something lovely that happens. Our hosts, artisans and guides really enjoy sharing their stories and listening to yours. It is these openness and kindness that adds the charm to our Ho Chi Minh City tours from Zambia and makes them memorable.
