Zambia, nestled in the heart of south-central Africa, boasts incredible wildlife parks and the majestic Victoria Falls. Unlike many of its African counterparts grappling with post-colonial turmoil, Zambia stands out for its commendable political stability and a notable commitment to transparency.

Adding to the challenges, Zambia carries the heavy weight of some of the world’s highest death rates due to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
