Zambia takes its name from the Zambezi River, which rises in the north-west corner of the country and forms its southern boundary. This landlocked country lies between the latitudes 10o and 18o South and longitudes 22o and 33o East.
Zambia is officially a Christian nation according to the 1996 constitution, but a wide variety of religious traditions exist.
Zambian food is spiced with the exotic flavours of the many tribes who inhabit it. Urban Zambia eats cuisine from all over the world.
