David Livingstone did not discover Zambia. Zambia already existed before he came here. Just like he did not discover Mosoi-o - tunya. It was there already.
Ofcourse! Only meant to say, that he led the exploration of the area that eventually led to religious/missionary activities and later European colonisation - would that be right?
Then that's what you should have said
@@TheBackpackstersyep, that would be correct
Boss ...
@@TheBackpackstersDavid Livingstone was the first European to document the Victoria Falls and so helped the outside world know about them. So you saying that he discovered them is not entirely inaccurate if one is talking of making them known beyond their local community.
From someone born and raised in Lusaka. This was beautiful to watch.. enlightening. A beautiful couple 💑 showcasing Zambia 🇿🇲. I work in the Rhodespark Area..lol.
Hehe thats awesome!
You guys are such a beautiful and humble couple. Thanks again for visiting our modest and laid-back country. May God keep blessing you as you further explore the continent.
We truly appreciate Zambian kindness! You guys are all so warm 🤓
As a Zambian I loved watching u talk about my country ❤❤
Zikomo! 😊
@@TheBackpacksters you're welcome or as we say in Zambia yewo
Inspired by you and the Great Noraly from Itchboots, i have led down my tools and want to explore the world on 2 wheels and show people the other sides that no one shows them. I am really inspired by what you do and cant wait to reach your level. I have started touring Zambia on a motorbike and i have first started with Chililabombwe town and i will move to chingola and other towns. i will show you the culture and people and way of life in these areas. tag along guys.
Come to mandevu junction not Rhoades Park.
Here in mandevu you will see great people great infrastructure and everything beautiful here. Hopefully u will come 😊
Nice! Good to know this information
Iwe😂😂😂
It actually used to be called the federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland (Central African Federation). Rhodesia comprised Zambia and Zimbabwe, Nyasaland is modern day Malawi.
Thanks for the details Paul!
@@TheBackpacksters you are welcome
Thanks for your contents. Enjoy yourselves
Zikomo! 😃
Thanks for exploring the real Lusaka ... Hope you are enjoying our Zambian laidback vibe and hospitality
Absolutely! Zambia is super nice so far 🤓
David Livingstone was an explorer and had nothing to do with the colonisation of Northern Rhodesia - Cecil John RHODES was responsible for the colonisation of Southern Rhodesia , he was a British Diamond magnet based in South Africa , and founder of the biggest Diamond company in the world - De-beers Diamond company .
Just meant to say the colonisation happened eventually after the 'discovery' by the first European missionary and explorers in the area 🤓
You are welcome, feel free, its safe❤❤❤
Zikomo 😊
any issues with load shedding/power cuts? Enjoy this beautiful city. Also visit the national museum, a must see. Plus hero's stadium.
Yes we did visit the museum! And so far, the power cuts have been manageable thanks to solar and gensets
Welcome to one of the peaceful country in the world Zambia kuchalo zoona🇿🇲💖
Zikomo 🤗

Zikomo!
Interesting currency information.
8:58 That's Zanco Mpundu and the government building is called government complex.
Thank you!
Zambia Ku Chalo 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲❤️
😅😅
Welcome to ZAM, Enjoy your stay.
Zikomo!
The man on the bank notes breaking free from the shackles is a real man, can't quite remember his name but he broke free from chains just like that during the fight for freedom. I will try to ask my mum for his name, she told me years ago but cant remember.
Oh wow interesting!
@ it is very interesting. His name is Zanco Mpundu Mutembo. He was a protester who was imprisoned in front of 18 soldiers and was told to break the chains or get shot. However, he successfully broke the chains. He lived a long life and died at 85 years old. He was also a freedom fighter.
Hello guys thank yiu for this vlog. How is the ater supply and wifi situation currently? I heard there is a major drought currently affecting these two things and also causing prices of food to skyrocket. How factual is this in your experience?
Yeah, the draught has made things quite challenging. We did not experience too much of a water problem first hand, but there's definitely an impact here. Extended load shedding is common right now too - so pumping water, Wifi, cooling - all impacted. Food prices were alright.
Wow!
The building behind the freedom statue is called "GOVERNMENT COMPLEX"
😅 good to know!
You are both very brave. I'm surprised your phone/camera wasn't stolen while filming on the streets.
Does that happen on most streets or some specific areas?
@@TheBackpackstersIt doesn't happen
Who should steal ,we are more civilized nation than even some of the west nations
@TheBackpacksters it happens in few selected places..All in all Zambia is a peaceful country
Cap unless in the Hood like Chibolya
Nice hear . when you speaks kannada.tagolada..🎉🎉i stay in Tanzania i was misssed you both ..when you are here...
Houdu! 😅 Maybe next time we're back in Tanzania 😃
This is nice
Would have been great if you guys visited us Namo Computers 5:02 next shop to cafe de paris😄
Ahh missed that!
haha thats the police building opposite the Levy mall, i live close to the mall, lusaka is not really a walking city, you should try the food though nshima its good!!,
Yup, eaten Shima, its nice!
About Victoria falls just go water is still there
Hi brother plzz also come to chipata is very good and beautifulplzzz bro ❤❤
We visited Chipata before coming to Lusaka 🤓
Omg! Dude! Did you just say David Livingstone discovered ZAMBIA? That's a huge misnomer! David Livingstone came to ZAMBIA in the 18:00s and found the natives here...
He was just the first caucasian to sight the Victoria Falls.
Of course, we said "discover" 😂 i think you know what we mean
Are u guys still here? We can meet up
❤❤❤
We don't pet rabbits here ,they are food 😂
😅🙈
We don't call drop donuts as mandazi in Zambia. They are called vitumbuwa.
Thanks for teaching us!
That is government complex housing some ministry's
wow zambia has not changed same post office from 30 years agao
Hi guys im also staying in lusaka ❤ im staying in emmasdale area

Can imagine!

Hehe, you know hindi? 😉 Yes we're in Lusaka 🤓
I live in Ndola Zambia
People saying David Livingstone did not discover Zambia, can you tell us who did? K100 to whoever knows! Coz the English is clear, he was moving towards Zambia and he discovered it. You are confusing discovery with invention. Discover kusanga not ukupanga😂😂😂😂
I litterly live in lusaka
Oh! Thats nice! 😊
I live in zambia lusaka IBEX HILL
🎉sharwama is Zambia put chips inside,that's African sharwama🎉🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
So embarrassing to point out the central police building as old built in the 80s . W
Oh it's not embarrassing! That architecture is timeless 🤩
Hi plz come to our restaurant in lusaka
Indian Basket Restaurant

Hello 😊

Zambia kuchalo
Welcome too loadshedding 🎉
😅😅🙈🙈
The government complex.
Thanks for telling us 😊
Sharwama is not our native food nsima is 😂
We ate both!
Came all the way from India only to come eat vegan shawarma in Lusaka? You remind me of an Indian friend visiting Zambia a few years back on a work tour and I made it a must he could have a memorable stay. I was frustrated because he kept insisting on eating spicy indian food on each night out. I one evening threatened to give up on him and he came back apologetic the following morning promising he'd never again take my effort at hospitality for granted. .... and then he tasted spicy braii chicken at Family 24 Northmead. You could honestly do better. LOL
There's very little vegetarian options besides Shima, beans and chips! If you have useful recommendations, please share them! Its good to be less judgmental about someone's food choices without knowing more about them - right? 😊
@@TheBackpacksters Well, we all have an opinion. I just wanted you to make effort trying to experience true Zambian life. You can not afford coming to Africa and try to show the world street life from your premeditated perspective. Try to be part of us. interact with us more. We'll give you more. I saw your Kamwala Market video and wondered why you didn't ask for a vegan meal there. Believe me , nshima is the main meal in Zambia, but it would be insulting to ignore the diverse relishes that come with it, vegan or not.
@@collinskahampa7011 There bodies there choice they can eat whatever they want whenever they want.
Its called government building 😂
Government complex building 🏢😅
Yeah that's what Google Maps seems to say too 😅
Who's lying to you? Please get the your facts checked otherwise as an Indian zambian this misinformation.
Okay, feel free to teach us the correct facts! We just shared what we learnt from the internet 😅
Masauso, It would be nice if you mentioned the misinformation you noticed in the video
@@TheBackpacksters right next to the freedom statue is the lusaka museum..sometimes its best to see actual evidence as there is truth in the eyes rather than read what's on the one sided colloquial data from the internet
Hey if u guys are still in blantyre contact me lets meet
