Northern Province, Administrative province in northern Zambia.
Description
Northern Province spreads across a large territory in northern Zambia with twelve districts, and Kasama serves as its administrative hub. The region contains diverse communities and encompasses important water bodies and wetland systems.
History
After Zambia gained independence in 1964, this province was established as an administrative region to manage the northern territory. It developed from the need to organize the vast area and its diverse populations.
Culture
This is the heartland of the Bemba people, where their language Icibemba is spoken and shapes daily interactions. You can experience this cultural identity reflected in the way locals communicate and live.
Practical
The districts are connected by roads, but conditions can vary with seasons and require planning. Visitors should inquire about local transport options and plan their routes based on current conditions.
