Hi Rafaela,
I just travelled through Zambia and it there was no issue to get diesel. At Petauke, one station did not have any but there were 3 more that did.
We were able to get diesel in Livingstone, Chipata, Mfuwe, Lusaka and Petauke. 

Best
Jenny

Chirundu petrol is not normally a problem.
Just sometimes end of month in anticipation if new set price (fuel price is set per month)

Thanks for your fast replies! Very much appreciated!
Anne-Marie: speaking of Chirundu - do you know about Diesel supply as well?

No I don't really.
Mine's a petrol car.
But I have not heard people complain about diesel.
