Zambia and Tanzania: any advice for traveling between Livingstone/Lusaka and Dar es Salaam?

I'm traveling with a friend through Zambia and Tanzania, April 25 - May 2nd or 3rd. We're an mzungu and a Singaporean, 25, moderately adventurous (i.e., willing to balance safety/comfort and cost). We'll be starting in Victoria Falls and ending up in Dar es Salaam. Any advice would be appreciated! Does anyone have tips specifically on

  1. Traveling overland: How to get from Livingstone or Lusaka to Dar es Salaam? Anyone knows reliable intercity buses, or should we just go by minibus? Recommendations and recent info on buses, traveling overland, and border crossings would be especially appreciated. Will we be expecting delays around that period due to weather, and all things considered (time, reliability) is it a good idea to splash out and fly instead? (It's ~US$270 / 4 hours by fastjet via Harare, anyone know any other not ridiculously expensive options?)
  2. Lusaka: What is there to do / see in Lusaka, or would it be a better idea to go straight through from Livingstone to Tanzania?
  3. Wildlife: Will we be able to see wildlife in the April-May rainy season, or should we stick to the urban delights of Dar and Zanzibar?

EDIT: thanks for the tips! So the mzungu doesn't like wildlife, but we'll probably spend a day in Lusaka and Dar each max, and head straight for Zanzibar like most of you have suggested. Wish I could squeeze in the Ngorongoro crater!

Liam Livingstone

Livingstone is currently one of the most destructive batsmen around the world and can easily clear short boundaries in Bangalore. He is also a quality leg spinner and we need legspinners on Chinnaswamy. I think he can bat after Maxwell and play the role of the finisher.

Also how much do you think he will go for in the auctions?

The Lusaka Strangler: At the beginning of the 1980s a serial killer would terrify the young nation. This killer would later go on to become the serial killer who killed the most victims in the shortest period of time claiming sometimes 5 victims a month.

On January 5, 1980 an anonymous call came into the Central Lusaka Police Station in Zambia the call stated that there was a dead body laying in the bushes behind the Lusaka Boys Primary School. When the police led by an Inspector Gondwe arrived at the scene a crowd of school boys were already present. The body was semi decomposed making it impossible for the police determine the cause of death however they did figure out that the body was dumped at the bush after having been killed elsewhere. Based on personal effects the police identified the body as having belonged to 21 year old Grace Siambilu. Grace was from a town called Sinazongwe in Southern Zambia and traveled to Lusaka the Zambian capitol to deliver a letter to her brother. Afterwards she would go to Kitwe to be interviewed by The Zambian Institute of Technology. The police determined that Grace was killed elsewhere and that her body was disposed of where it was found

The police had no leads as to who the murderer was but as their investigation was just starting another murder would occur. On January 6, 1980 the body of a woman would be dead in a grass footpath near Chitukuko Road the woman was raped and strangled and was determined to be killed where she was discovered based on scattered beads and torn knickers found near the body. Her body had severe brushing on her neck and navel and a foam like substance emitting from her mouth and nose. The police were unable to identify this woman and even today her name and identity is unknown.

On January 12, 1980 the body of 21 year old Florence Mwangelwa Mulima was found raped and murdered behind the NIPA offices , She had traveled to Lusaka from Mazabuka via train.

Two days later on January 14, 1980 Priscilla Ndhlovu who was only 10 years old was found strangled to death in a maize field in Olympia Park. She was last seen buying some groceries for her parents. There were no signs of sexual assault on her body.

On January 28, 1980 Regina Munanga was found near the UNZA Campus raped and strangled like the other victims. Regina was a policewomen and she was identified because the killer left her ID laying face up on her body.

The police worked hard to try and arrest the killer or killers and questioned all sex offenders and violent offenders in the area as well as anyone who were thought to have met the victims but these lines of questioning always led to dead ends. It wasn't until the next victim that the police managed to finally obtain their first r
