It appears from this site:

http://www.apple.com/support/country/

Your country does not seem to have a Mac dealer. It appears all-Africa is supported only for the iPhone.

If you want Macs, it appears that your choice of Dubai (or any other country on that Africa/Middle East page) would be OK with Apple, Inc.

Perhaps Mozambique, Botswana, or South Africa would be less shipping.

Does the vendor you've patronized in Dubai ship to Zambia? If so, that's probably the best option available to you. If not, you will have to discover another Apple reseller somewhere who is willing to ship to Zambia. Apple itself won't do so.

Be aware that buying and relying on Apple products in a country where they are not sold or serviced may be a high-risk gamble, depending on what will be at stake if a machine fails and has to be sent far away for repair. At the least, you should have spare machines available as backups, and of course all your data should always be safely and redundantly backed up.

i am an Apple Certified technician and a Computer Engineer so that issue of Repairs have been Considered already

these are the certifications i under went

In Roots, Mac os x ,XSERVERS, Apple Networks, Hardware,IOS, CERTIFIED

CODE CERTIFICATION,AUTHORITY AND ADOBE FLASH PLATFORM, Java

so i believe i can service all Platforms and equally Windows

the fact is that the Supplier in Dubai i used to travel there to buy so the shipment issue i doubt if they can do but anyway i managed to speak to APPLE last night and i was advised to wait for my international gift Card so i believe it's working out for me thanks Guy

Zambia is right next door to South Africa! Much closer than Dubai.
