About Zambia
The name Zambia was derived from the river name Zambezi which means God’s River. Zambia is home to the Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River and is a landlocked country in Southern Africa. The credit of entering the Olympic games as one country and coming out as another country goes to Zambia as it declared its independence on the closing day of the 1964 summer Olympics.
