About Zambia
Zambia is located in Southern Africa, east of Angola, south of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a landlocked country of rugged terrain and diverse wildlife, with many parks and safari areas. Zambia has 8 neighbours, and is fondly referred to as the warm heart of Africa, home to some of the finest Safari experiences on the planet, including face to face encounters with Nature at its most wild. Zambia is acknowledged as one of the safest countries in the world to visit, Zambians are welcoming people living in peace and harmony. Whilst Zambia is now one of Africa’s most urbanised countries, much of the country remains wild, underdeveloped and unspoilt, with a great percentage of land allocated by the government to conservation projects, national parks and game management areas. Many of these parks are home to incredible numbers of Africa’s most-feted wild mammals and extraordinary birdlife. One of the most water rich countries in Africa, Zambia has 5 vast lakes, 3 major rivers, 17 waterfalls and various wetland areas. Zambia is one of the fastest growing economies on the African continent and tourism is crucial to the country’s on-going development. The capital is Lusaka. The country has an estimated population of 16.21 million (2015) World Bank. The Currency is the Zambian kwacha. .
The Climate The general height of the land gives Zambia a more pleasant climate than that experienced in most tropical countries. There are three seasons – cool and dry from May to August, hot and dry from September to November, and warm and wet from December to April. Only in the Valleys of the Zambezi and Luangwa is there excessive heat, particularly in October and, in the wet season, a high humidity. In the warm wet season, frequent heavy showers and thunderstorms occur, followed by spells of bright sunshine
