Zambia, officially the Republic of Zambia, is a landlocked country at the crossroads of Central, Southern and East Africa.

It is bordered to the north by Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania to the north-east, Malawi to the east, Mozambique to the southeast, Zimbabwe and Botswana to the south, Namibia to the southwest, and Angola to the west.
