History of Zambia
Zambia was once known as Northern Rhodesia and was an English Colony. It gained its independence in 1964 and struggled through single-party rule for many years. After 20 years of unrest, a new constitution was written, multiple parties were established, and elections were held.
While Zambia now operates more democratically, its economy still struggles. A new president was elected while we visited in August of 2021 and celebrations could be heard nightly for a week! It will be interesting to see what the future holds in Zambia.
While in Zambia, we spent a few days in Livingstone and then went on safari in South Luangwa National Park. While in Livingstone, though slightly unorganized, we found a variety of activities.
