Proflight Zambia gets me fired up, because cabin travel is on the table here — that means your dog can ride up front with you instead of down in the hold. That single fact changes everything about how you plan a regional African route. The breakdown below spells out the cabin rules worth knowing. Sam and I always lock the carrier's requirements before we touch flight dates.
Proflight Zambia's pet policy splits into cabin and cargo. This page summarizes the weight limits, fees, brachycephalic-breed restrictions, and carrier specifications for both modes — sourced from the airline's official pet pages.

Bottom line: cabin access is a gift, so don't fumble it at the counter. Confirm the size and carrier rules, then build the rest of your itinerary around that cabin seat. Nala has opinions about layovers, and trust me, so will you once the connections line up. Drop your route into Pawgo's plan-builder for a personalized plan built around this carrier — then go chase the adventure. Bring more water than you think.
