Zambia

The Zambezi River defines much of Zambia — its waters support hydropower, fishing and tourism along the country’s western and southern reaches. At Livingstone, the river plunges over Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, before continuing through the Batoka Gorge. Zambia is a landlocked country of broad plateaus, woodland and major river basins, with the Kafue and Luangwa among its important waterways. Copper mining has long been central to the economy, particularly in Copperbelt Province. In the west, the Lozi people’s Kuomboka ceremony marks the seasonal move of the Litunga from a floodplain residence to higher ground.
