Maramba Cultural Village

Maramba Cultural Village is a cultural compound in Livingstone where different ethnic groups from Zambia display their traditions. Visitors find craft stations, musical performances, and art displays spread throughout the grounds.

The village began after Zambia gained independence in 1964 as communities wanted to preserve their local customs and ways of life. Since then it has worked to record knowledge about regional practices and traditions for future generations.

Visitors can watch skilled artisans working on textiles, pottery, and wood carving while they explain their techniques and their meaning in daily life. These crafts represent skills that have passed through families for many generations.

Visit in the morning when most craftspeople are most active and the sun is not too intense. A local guide helps you understand the demonstrations better and speak directly with the people working there.

Elders teach young people in a dedicated area traditional dances and songs to ensure these arts don't disappear. This daily practice shows the village functions not as a museum but as a living place where real knowledge transmission happens.
