The country of Zambia is located in south-central Africa. Zambia
is Africa's largest copper producer and is also home to the Victoria Falls,
which is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Victoria Falls is known
locally as the "Smoke that Thunders" and is found along the Zambezi
River. The Victoria Falls brings in growing numbers of tourists, along with the
countries wildlife found in large game parks. Another reason tourists are drawn
to Zambia is because of how peaceful and trouble-free it is, unlike their eight
neighbors around them.
Even though Zambia has amazing natural wonders and peace,
social conditions are rough. Poverty is spread all over the country. Also
Zambia has the lowest life expectancy and the death rate is one of the highest
in the world. The previous numbers are greatly impacted by HIV and Aids.
