Zambia is a country with an area of ​​752 thousand sq. km., situated in the southern part of Africa. Its population is approximately 10 million inhabitants. It’s capital is Lusaka. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century the area that is now Zambia came under British rule, and in 1911 was converted into a protectorate of Northern Rhodesia.

It gained autonomy in 1964 under the name of Zambia and has been accepted to the UN. The basis of the economy, as in most African countries is agriculture, but also gold, silver, uranium and emeralds are mined. The greater part of the country is a plateau – thanks to this the climate is friendly and the average temperatures are not as high as in other African countries. The official language is English – therefore tourists should have no trouble in communicating with the natives.
