Tse tse Flies in Zambia Luangwa Valley
Has there been any problems with Tse Tse fly bites when visiting game parks in Zambia in the past few months ? Any info will be appreciated.

i spent a week in both lower zambezi and south luangwa in june 2007 and we did not see one fly!

we did also not see these blue fabric fly traps in the whole area. so i might conclude they donÄt have a problem with tse tse at all.

but i have not clue what the situation is like during rainy season from dec to march.......

In July there were just a few now and then. Not a problem at all.
