Zambia
Zambia has its own side of Victoria Falls, the South Luangwa and Kafue parks, and Lusaka as the business centre. Local food is cheap, imports and fuel are expensive, and rent in the better districts of the capital runs well above average. The rains fall from November to April, the dry cool season from May to August, and October brings the heat. English is official, and the limits are weak healthcare, long poor roads and power interruptions.
