Travel Diversity
Zambia is another landlocked country in Africa. It is surrounded by the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north, Tanzania to the north-east, Malawi to the east, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia to the south, and Angola to the west. Zambia has one of the lowest populations to land ratio.
Cultural Diversity
Zambians are friendly and hospitable people. This country is rich though in cultural tribes. Zambia’s existing cultures are a blend of values and spiritual customs of more than 70 different cultural tribes. Although this is quite a big number the customs and rituals they partake in are only done in the rural areas as most of the urban areas have become much westernised. Unfortunately like most parts of Africa they suffer with poverty. Although some parts are suffering with poverty, there is an element about Zambia that is Zambians are really creative. They know how to make crafty handmade things to resale to tourists. Amazing wood, wire, basketry or beaded crafts the Zambians can make. It’s pretty crazy though as they sit anywhere along the road, even in the middle of nowhere, just to sale their crafts. The reason for this is that their crafts are there lively hood and their sole income.
