What do I need to know before moving to Zambia?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Zambia, they said...

"Expats should be aware that Zambia is a developing country and that the infrastructure and services may not be as advanced as in other countries. It is important to research the cost of living in Zambia before moving, as prices can vary significantly depending on the area. Expats should also be aware that English is the official language of Zambia, but many locals also speak Bemba, Nyanja, and Tonga. It is also important to research the local laws and customs before moving to Zambia, as these can vary significantly from other countries. Finally, expats should be aware that the healthcare system in Zambia is not as advanced as in other countries, so it is important to have adequate health insurance before moving," said another expat in Zambia.
