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?
