Zambia - Level 1: Exercise Normal Precautions
Exercise normal precautions in Zambia.

Teaching English abroad in Zambia offers a unique and enriching opportunity to make a meaningful difference while experiencing the vibrant culture of this southern African nation. With English as the official language, there is a high demand for TESOL-certified educators in schools and community programs, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Zambia’s warm, welcoming communities provide a supportive environment for teachers to help students develop their language skills, opening doors to greater educational and professional opportunities. Beyond the classroom, educators can immerse themselves in Zambia’s breathtaking landscapes, including Victoria Falls and its national parks teeming with wildlife. Teaching in Zambia is a rewarding way to contribute to global education while embracing the country’s rich traditions and natural beauty. Zambia, a landlocked country in Southern Africa, is primarily defined by a vast elevated plateau averaging 1,200 meters above sea level. This plateau is dissected by several major river valleys, including the Zambezi, Kafue, Luangwa, and Luapula, creating diverse landscapes ranging from gently rolling hills to deep gorges. Notable features include the Victoria Falls, one of the world's largest waterfalls, shared with Zimbabwe, and the expansive wetlands of the Bangweulu Basin. While the majority of the country is plateau, the Muchinga Mountains in the east reach heights of over 2,000 meters. Zambia's diverse terrain supports a variety of habitats, from savannas and woodlands to wetlands and grasslands, making it a haven for rich biodiversity.
