Sinazongwe is accessible nearly all year round. Access is by tar road from Batoka (which is between Pemba and Choma) and by 17 kilometres (11 mi) of gravel road just outside Sinazeze Town. The nearest airstrip is approximately 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from Sinazongwe. 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.
Sinazongwe is only a three-and-a-half-hour drive from Livingstone and three-and-a-half-hour drive from Zambia's capital, Lusaka, therefore giving it good access to an international airport from either direction as well as to one of the seven-wonders of the world: Victoria Falls, Livingstone.
