There’s something truly special about growing up in Zambia. It wasn’t just about where you lived or who you were born to—it was about the entire community shaping you into who you became.

Nights were filled with laughter and deep conversations under the stars. My cousins and I—about 12 of us, all from my mom’s siblings—spent our days running through the fields, picking wild fruits, dancing in the rain, and rushing to the farm to gather fresh mushrooms after a good downpour. My grandparents' land had a stream flowing through it, making fishing trips with my grandpa an adventure. We caught all sorts of fish, and he always had stories to tell as we sat by the water.

Christmas was extra special, not just because of the celebrations but because that was the only time we got candies all the way from Europe, sent by my aunt, who was a Catholic nun at the time. We savored every piece like it was the rarest treat on earth.

Meal times were a family affair—grandma cooked in a massive pot and served on big dishes for everyone to eat together. If you were a slow eater, well… you learned to move faster or risk going hungry! It wasn’t about poverty; it was just the culture—family ate as one.

School was another adventure. I attended a government school at some point, where we had to be on the parade ground by 6:30 a.m. sharp. Our teachers didn’t play around—they checked every single one of us to make sure our hair was neatly combed, teeth brushed, necktie properly put, and shoes polished to perfection. I hated that part!

Later, I went to a Catholic boarding school, where mass was compulsory every Friday and Sunday. Let’s just say I was always late, and the nuns made sure I regretted it! Catholic nuns are not the softest people to deal with—punishment was swift if you messed up.

Looking back, I can’t help but be grateful for such a rich and beautiful childhood. Growing up African means being raised not just by your parents, but by the entire community. It means learning discipline, love, and resilience in ways that stay with you forever.

Zambian cuisine is a beautiful mix of tradition, flavor, and community. Here are some of the most popular dishes and how they’re prepared:  

- **Nshima** – The staple of every Zambian meal, nshima is made by gradually adding maize meal to boiling water while stirring continuously until it thickens into a smooth, firm texture. It’s best enjoyed with various relishes.  

- **Ifisashi** – A rich and creamy peanut stew made by simmering pumpkin leaves, sweet potato leaves, or spinach with groundnut flour. It’s a popular vegetarian dish packed with flavor.  

- **Chikanda (African Polony)** – A plant-based delicacy made by mixing wild orchid tubers with groundnuts and boiling the mixture until it firms into a sausage-like texture. It has a slightly nutty, chewy taste.  

- **Kapenta** – Tiny, dried fish from Lake Tanganyika that can be deep-fried until crispy or stewed with tomatoes and onions for a rich, flavorful dish.  

- **Ifinkubala (Caterpillars) & Vinkubala (Mopane Worms)** – These protein-rich delicacies are usually sun-dried and later fried or cooked in a tomato-based sauce. They have a chewy, savory taste and are enjoyed across Zambia.  

- **Village Chicken Stew** – Free-range chicken is slow-cooked with tomatoes, onions, and local spices, creating a flavorful and tender dish often served with nshima.  

- **Nyama Yakufaka (Grilled Meat)** – Zambia’s version of barbecue, where beef, goat, or chicken is simply seasoned and cooked over an open fire, giving it a smoky and delicious taste.  

- **Munkoyo** – A traditional Zambian drink made by fermenting maize meal with special roots. It has a slightly tangy, refreshing flavor and is perfect for cooling down on a hot day.  

Visitors to Zambia are warmly welcomed to not only enjoy its culinary treasures but also explore its world-renowned tourism. From the majestic Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, to the wildlife-rich South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi National Parks, Zambia offers breathtaking adventures for every traveler. The warmth of its people, combined with the beauty of its landscapes and traditions, makes Zambia a destination worth discovering. Come and immerse yourself in the heart of Africa—Zambia 
awaits!
