Afterward, enjoy a taste of local snacks such as roasted groundnuts or sweet fritters, paired with a refreshing herbal drink before the tour begins. This moment of connection is important—it slows down time, helps you leave behind the rush of travel, and prepares your mind for a cultural journey that is both educational and heartwarming.

Explore Zambia’s oldest and largest museum, established in 1934. Discover a treasure trove of stories, artifacts, and exhibits that capture Zambia’s journey from prehistoric times to the modern era. Encounter archaeological relics from the Stone Age and Iron Age, showing the early evolution of humanity. See ethnographic collections showcasing the customs, traditions, and daily lives of Zambia’s diverse ethnic groups.

Visit the David Livingstone Gallery, dedicated to the life and work of the missionary-explorer, complete with his personal letters, maps, and belongings. Learn about Zambia’s struggle for independence and the birth of a modern nation. See contemporary Zambian art, giving voice to today’s creative minds.

Instead of simply reading display notes, be guided by a local storyteller who brings the exhibits to life with legends, oral histories, and personal anecdotes. When you see traditional musical instruments, you won’t just look—you’ll hear them played, and you may even try drumming a rhythm yourself. When you encounter artifacts from Zambia’s many tribes, you’ll hear the proverbs, songs, and folktales that give those items meaning.

When you walk into the David Livingstone Gallery, you won’t just see his diary—you’ll hear about the encounters between local communities and this European explorer, from both African and Western perspectives.
