How to get a KAZA Univisa?
The KAZA Univisa program has been resumed and now includes Botswana in addition to Zambia and Zimbabwe. Nevertheless there is little information about this multi-country visa. The linked note states that you can "acquire it at an entry Point of Sale (POS) at Lusaka, Livingstone and Ndola airports", but is it possible to get it on a land border? Or may I get it online or at the embassy?
Best Answer
As of August 2017, the KAZA Univisa is once again operational
Following a successful pilot, the KAZA Univisa has been reinstated to allow holders unlimited access to both Zambia and Zimbabwe for 30 days, as well as limited day trip access to the Kazungula region of Botswana. (The UK travel guidelines have been updated to further confirm this)

Consular info for Zambia from gov.uk
The Kaza UNIVISA is temporarily suspended until further notice. If you’re planning to travel between Livingstone, Zambia and Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, you’ll need to apply for a visa for each of the countries.
The UNIVISA system (which allowed travellers to enter both Zimbabwe and Zambia using a dual visa) is currently suspended. If you’re travelling between Zimbabwe and Zambia (more than one entry either way), you should get a double entry visa for both countries. Both Zimbabwe and Zambia issue double entry visas at ports of entry.

There is a related discussion on a tripadvisor forum and reports are that the program is suspended from posts as late as May and June 2016, which however still precede the article you cite. To be honest I doubt your source somewhat, since it is an investment website for Zambia and seems to me they copied some official blabla without checking much, but that's just my two cents.
