Immersed in a rich tapestry of culture and history, Zambia or the Republic of Zambia, remains a landlocked gem in South-Central Africa, bordering eight different countries. The vibrant capital, Lusaka, seated in the south-central region, frames the country's energetic spirit. Zambia's roots go deep, with the Khoisan people initially making their home here, eclipsed by the Bantu expansion in the 13th century. Once under British rule and known as Northern Rhodesia, Zambia embraced its independence in 1964, with Kenneth Kaunda as the inaugural president.

Thriving on an abundant wealth of natural resources, Zambia has transformed rapidly, being named as one of the quickest economically reformed countries in the world by the World Bank in 2010. From its rich minerals, diversely populated wildlife to sprawling forests, freshwater reserves, and fertile lands, Zambia's gift is its natural beauty. The remnants of the past, whether it be the Luba and Lunda Kingdoms or the Chokwe, paint a vivid picture of this nation's historical journey. And what better name for such a dazzling country than one derived from the grand Zambezi River, Zambia.

When to visit Zambia

Zambia's allure changes with the seasons, presenting two unique experiences, the dry and the wet season. May through to October presents the dry season, offering invigorating safari opportunities, with wildlife flocking to the diminishing watering holes. These cooler days and nights are an excellent time for travellers to visit, with September and October pushing the mercury higher. Sightings of vibrant birdlife in their multitudes make these months further intriguing, albeit hot.

Safe in the warm cocoon of the 'Green Season,' the rainy period from December to April, Zambia transforms. The wildlife viewing may require a sharper eye as the vegetation thrives, but rain-blessed Zambia has a charm of its own. Few brave the heavy downpours of January and February, with flooded roadways and closed camps, but in March, birdwatchers populate the hideouts to catch a glimpse of the winged wonders. April, with pleasant weather and alluring accommodation rates, marries tranquillity and budget friendliness albeit not being the peak season for game viewing. Each season in Zambia has a unique cadence, providing an enchanting visit, whenever you choose to fly.
