About Zambia
Zambia is a land-linked country in Southern Africa, strategically positioned at the heart of the region and bordered by Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. The country is home to Victoria Falls, traditionally known as Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning “The Smoke That Thunders.” Zambia is also renowned for its rich wildlife, exceptional birdlife and world-class national parks, including Kafue, South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi. As a pioneer of the walking safari, Zambia offers visitors an authentic and memorable African wilderness experience.
Zambia is richly endowed with natural resources, including copper, cobalt, emeralds, manganese and other minerals, making mining one of the country’s key economic pillars. The country also has vast agricultural potential, supported by fertile land, abundant water resources, favourable climate conditions and opportunities in crop production, livestock, agro-processing and agribusiness.
With five major lakes, three large rivers, numerous waterfalls and extensive wetlands, Zambia is one of Africa’s most water-rich countries. Its capital, Lusaka, continues to grow as a commercial and diplomatic hub, while sectors such as mining, agriculture, tourism, energy and infrastructure present significant opportunities for trade, investment and sustainable development.
