Super up close shots of the CHINYUNYU HOT SPRINGS in Rufunsa District. An average 2hr drive from Lusaka CBD, this national heritage site should be top of your list for a lazy weekend outing with friends.

TRIVIA:

The water erupts at an amazing 70 degrees Celsius, so hot you could make instant coffee ☕️. The water is also believed to have “Supernatural” uses, some claim it’s used to cure alignments, exorcism activities while it is also believed to cure “acne”. Before the site was protected, religious activities like over night prayers were held at this point as it is believed to be a sacred place. The water runs none stop all year round.

THE HAIR RAISING & AWESOME SUSPENDED CHINYINGI BRIDGE

Chinyingi foot Bridge in Zambezi District is a 115m long and wobbly suspended adrenalin challenge. Scary but exciting! About 30 km north of the town of Zambezi, in one of the most remote areas of Zambia, you’ll find a Capuchin mission and hospital in Chinyingi. Constructed by Father Crispin Valeri in the 70s, this was after he saw five people drown trying to cross the river to get medical help. He asked for donations from the copper mines in the Copperbelt, and used unskilled labour from the local community to erect the bridge.

Today the bridge is still standing strong and is one of only four to stretch across the Zambezi without any “foot” or “rooted” supports. The others are the Victoria Falls Bridge and the Otto Beit Bridge, both spanning the river between Zambia and Zimbabwe, and the Samora Machel Bridge, in the town of Tete in northwest Mozambique. All three are engineering feats, built from concrete with skilled labour and machinery.

THE ZAMBEZI RIVER AND ZAMBIA’S INDEPENDENCE

Did you know that: The Luvale and Lunda people call it Yambezhi or Yambeji river. They also associate it with the area along the river Yambeji (vaka yambeji mandala yambeji) people of the river. Yambeji is a common Lunda-Luba word meaning area or place of plenty of water. The name Zambezi came about as an English mispronounciation of the name Yambezhi or Yambeji. Some scholars claim the word means “GREAT” while others say the meaning is “GOD”. The term is neither great nor god but plenty of water and is a Lunda-Luba term.

The inscription on the plaque of INDEPENDENCE reads:

“THIS PLAQUE WAS UNVEILED ON 24 TH OCTOBER 1964
TO MARK THE ATTAINMENT OF INDEPENDENCE AFTER SEVENTY YEARS OF COLONIAL RULE. IT IS DEDICATED TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE, MEN AND WOMEN WHO BY PERSONAL SACRIFICE ENABLED INDEPENDENCE TO BE ACHIEVED.

THIS MONUMENT STANDS AT THE SOURCE OF THE ZAMBEZI RIVER FROM WHICH ZAMBIA HAS DERIVED ITS NAME AND WHICH, WITH ITS GREAT TRIBUTARIES HAS PLAYED SO LARGE A PART IN THE LIFE AND HISTORY OF ITS PEOPLE AND COMMEMORATES THE BIRTH OF A NEW NATION IN WHICH ALL PEOPLE ARE FREE, EQUAL, AND UNITED.”

As Northern Rhodesian flag went down at Independence stadium in Lusaka, the new Zambian flag was rised not only in Lusaka but at the source of this Great River.

LOOKS VERY SIMPLE BUT . . . . The beginning of Zambia’s most important river, ladies and gentlemen, The Mighty Zambezi River Source.

This is a river that evokes both mystery and excitement and a journey to its source, well off the beaten track, is a journey of discovery. Located in Ikelengi district, the river’s source is about 53 kilometres north-west of Mwinilunga.

You will be left in awe of how such a small spring, bubbling up from beneath tree roots, could become such a beast of a river by the time it reaches the Indian Ocean. The Zambezi is Zambia’s most important river. It gives the country its name; is a source of hydroelectric power; for about 500 kilometres it serves as the country’s border with Zimbabwe; it thunders over the famous Mosi Oa Tunya Falls (Victoria Falls) and flows through the Barotse floodplains. In a follow up post we will talk about how the Zambezi river played a role in Zambia’s independence.

Creepy crawly phobias 😂

The answer was plain and simple, Noooooooo nakana, i do not care. People have phobias and for Dingatse Esther Spora Musadabwe it is clearly creepy crawlies 😂😃🤭 #Phobias #AroundZambia from #A2Z

What is a confluence ??? Luangwa ~ Zambezi

WHAT IS A CONFLUENCE ???? 🤔 Before you watch the video, leave the answer in the comment section and give examples of ones you know. The confluence in the video though is awesome, it connects not two but three countries all at one point. And in 1835, on 19th November, Mpezeni and his Ngoni people who at the time were fleeing King Shaka Zulu’s “Mfekane”, used this area as a crossing point. The Solar Eclipse happened that day, and Zambia was never same. 🙌🏾 #Trivia #History #AroundZambia from #A2Z

Mysterious Stone of Death

THE STONE OF DEATH & ITS MYSTERY Yesterday (18.11.22) we shared a short video about a stone that comes with stories of ”mystery and death”. We decided to further this conversation with one of the locals and get their side of this unbelievable story. The revelations from her are crazy and mind blowing to say the least. Special thank yous go to Obert Siyadombozya & Otis Mumba for being our translators and language gap coverers. PS: this stone is around the same location/Area as the famous NG’OMBE ILEDE. 📍Chipepo village, Chirundu - Southern Province
