With roughly 16 million citizens, Zambia forms an integral part of sub-Saharan Africa. Home to extensive copper mines and bordered by a total of eight other countries – the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola – it is now wonder why Zambia is a key focal point of the region. Situated in a tropical climate zone, Zambia is also home to an immense biodiversity of ecosystems and endemic species.

As Zambia continues to industrialize, its cities are developing into more popular destinations where to intern abroad. Ndola, a major commercial hub of the Copperbelt region with a population of nearly 500,000 citizens, is one particularly popular place to seek out internships abroad in Zambia. Livingstone, a major tourism center near to the infamous Victoria Falls, is another popular city where you can intern abroad in Zambia.

While internships in urban areas are available however, most of the country’s population continue to live in rural areas. Interning abroad in Zambia’s rural towns or villages will afford you a much different experience of the country, as large sectors of the population continue to work as subsistence farmers away from the industrial intensity of urban life.
