In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Zambia.

More information about the video content bellow:
1. Zambia is bordered by seven countries and was a former British colony known as Northern Rhodesia before independence.

2. Zambia’s Lake Kariba was Africa’s largest man-made lake until Egypt’s Aswan Dam was put up in 1971. Lake Kariba is so huge that in certain parts of it, unknowing visitors think they are looking at the ocean.

3. The country’s name Zambia was taken from the name of the Zambezi River and means “heart of all.”

4. Zambia’s capital, Lusaka, was originally planned to hold a mere 200,000 people. Today, Lusaka has a population of roughly 1.7 million.

5. Because of the Victoria Falls’ spray, the forest beside it receives “rain” 24 hours a day, seven days a week! If you look at the Victoria Falls’ mist from the correct angle, you will be able to see a circular rainbow. (Of course, all rainbows are really circular, but it is very seldom that we get to see more than the top half.)

6. Kafue national park is the oldest and largest national park in Zambia – it is roughly the same size as Wales, a country in the UK. Found in the centre of western Zambia and covering a massive 22,400 km2, it is largely left untouched by man, with vast areas of the bush remaining completely preserved.

7. There are 72 languages spoken in Zambia, from a range of different origins, including 18-19th century migration. Many of these are more widely regarded as dialects, and only seven of these languages have official status. Bemba, Nyanja, Lozi, Tonka, and Kaonde, Luvale and Luna, alongside modern English are taught in primary schools and used to write government publications. English is the first language of only 2% of Zambians but is the most commonly used second language.
