Chama is a border town in Zambia's Northeastern Province, situated on the banks of the Luapula River and bordering Tanzania, and is one of the most important land routes connecting Zambia with its neighbors. As a local agricultural and trading center, Chama is surrounded by maize, millet and other crops, rich forestry resources, wood processing industry and small handicraft production is also quite unique. Although small, the town retains a pristine natural landscape - surrounded by dense forests and savannahs, it is one of the gateways to wildlife reserves in northern Zambia and occasionally attracts tourists seeking a pristine eco-experience. With a predominantly Bemba population and a strong traditional tribal culture, the handicraft market and regular tribal festivals offer a unique African flavor, making it an ideal place to get a taste of Zambian village life.
