1) Today’s Featured Site

Zambia is the land of the legendary African walking safari, earth's biggest waterfall, the wild Zambezi River, breath-taking lakes and wetlands, a profusion of birds, abundant wildlife, and raw, pulsating wilderness, .......all in one friendly country.

Zambia’s tourism has not been sufficiently exposed. Partly due to the past lukewarm promotion by the government and the private sector alike. However, this is now different. More and more investors are coming into the country to set up business in safari and tour operations.

The case in point is the new world class Sun International Resort comprising of two hotels; The Royal Livingstone a five star hotel and the 3 star Zambezi Sun both only opened in 2001. They ‘sit’ next to the “out of this world wonder”, the amazing Victoria Falls.

It has been said that the Victoria Falls is not in Zambia. Some people think it is in South Africa or in Zimbabwe. The truth is the Victoria Falls is at the Zambia-Zimbabwe boundary and the best view (as most tourists have testified after visiting) is from the Zambian side.

What with current lower numbers, visiting is unspoiled and as such very pleasant indeed.

Zambia is now experiencing a large boost of international visitors and this is already showing. The tourism potential is now being harnessed and more activities are expected in the hospitality business. What brings about all this is the amazing natural wonders in both animal species and the beautiful terrain coupled with the wonderful weather nearly the whole year round. Being in the tropics Zambia’s weather is envy to most African countries in the tropics

2) Just My Thoughts

Zambia, Recent History The territory of Northern Rhodesia, now Zambia, was administered by the British South African Company (BSC) from 1891 until the UK took over in 1923. During the 1920s and 1930s, advances in mining spurred development and immigration. Upon independence in 1964 the name was changed to Zambia after the mighty Zambezi River.

In the 1980s and 1990s, declining copper prices hurt the economy. Zambia, now a parliamentary democracy, had a one party system of government. The elections in 1991 brought an end to one-party rule.

Zambia adopted liberal free-market policies. The government embarked on an economic reform program which abolished foreign exchange controls, passed new investment laws, set up a stock exchange.

It was a privatization program “dubbed” by the World Bank as the best on the African continent. It was done so fast heads spun. Think of it. The old country UK in the last 100 years has been and still is privatizing. The British are nowhere near finishing.

And here lies the birth of Zambia’s current economic malaise. The quickie privatization did not work as well as expected. It was done a wee bit too fast. But then this is Africa! So with a few US dollars you are a local currency millionaire. Your visit will be very pleasant as a result.

Zambia’s main religion is Christianity with 60% following and other religions make up the rest.
