Sinazongwe is accessible nearly all year round. Access is by tar road from Batoka (which is between [[Monze]] and [[Choma]]) and by {{convert|17|km}} of gravel road just outside [[Sinazeze]] Town. The nearest airstrip (SEYMORE) is approximately {{convert|6|km}} from Sinazongwe on the [[Zambeef]] Cropping section. It is advisable to contact Zambeef and alert them of your arrival in advance in order for safety procedures. The nearest large hospital is at [[Maamba]] which is about a 40-minute drive from Sinazongwe; however, there is a small hospital in Sinazongwe as well as a local clinic. The nearest town with a reasonable selection of grocery shops etc. is Choma, which is {{convert|95|km}} from Sinazongwe (one and a half hour’s drive); however Zambeef has recently introduced two butchery outlets, one in Sinazeze and one in Sinazongwe, where you can buy fresh local produce. | Sinazongwe is accessible nearly all year round.
