Stories Set in Zambia
Zambia is a large landlocked country in south-central Africa, mostly woodland plateau broken by rivers. British Northern Rhodesia won peaceful independence in 1964 under Kenneth Kaunda, but dependence on copper prices kept towns fragile, a tension felt in workaday dramas. I Am Not a Witch follows a girl accused in a rural village, while Holiday in the Wild uses its safari lodges. Open Zambia on the StoryTerra map and filter its stories by any era.
