Pros and Cons of Living in Zambia

"I love how people-oriented they are. They will chat freely in the market, and they love connecting. It's every extrovert's dream. ;-)," said a person living in Kabwe.

"Expats in Zambia appreciate the warm hospitality of the local people, the vibrant culture and the beautiful landscapes. They also enjoy the diverse cuisine, the vibrant music and dance, and the rich history and traditions of the country. Additionally, expats appreciate the strong sense of community and the relaxed pace of life in Zambia," explained one expat living in Zambia.

"The lack of internet is a challenge. There are also few options for good schools here, and those that are good are incredibly expensive boarding schools. It can be annoying how long it takes to get anything done here (unless you bribe)," remarked one expat in Kabwe.

"Expats in Zambia often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. Many find the language barrier to be a challenge, as English is not widely spoken outside of the major cities. Additionally, the local customs and traditions can be difficult to understand and navigate. Expats may also find the pace of life to be slower than what they are used to, as well as the lack of modern amenities and infrastructure. Finally, the cost of living in Zambia can be quite high, making it difficult for expats to adjust to their new lifestyle," explained one expat living in Zambia.
