What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Zambia?

Answer this Question

We asked people in Zambia if they could share any humorous cultural blunders they commited. For new expats, keep in mind that these incidents are an inevitable part of expat life. Learning to laugh about them is the key!...

"In Zambia, it is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions. It is considered rude to point with your finger, so it is best to use an open hand when gesturing. It is also important to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. Avoid discussing politics or religion in public, as these topics can be sensitive. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local language and to be respectful when speaking to locals," commented one expat who made the move to Zambia.
