Trails & Tales
Don’t Divorce me Tomato Soup
Streets lined with ripe tomatoes? Check. A roasted base of tomatoes, garlic, red pepper, and onions? Check. Versatile, comforting, and borderline addictive. Check. Only warning: serving it three nights in a row may have… questionable outcomes for your marriage.
ZA - ZM Logistics
Luxury items like high-quality olive oil, good wine, and Nespresso pods can be surprisingly pricey in Zambia. The good news? There are plenty of smart ways to bring in a few favorites and the logistics are actually super efficient and hassle-free.
What’s good to know about Healthcare in Zambia
Healthcare was one of my biggest unknowns before moving especially with two young kids, one of whom spent quite a few nights in the hospital during his first year. But, for everyday needs and picking up medications, it’s actually very straightforward and manageable.
Getting Guidance
It seemed simple: bring the cars we already knew and trusted. What we didn’t factor in? The admin. After navigating temporary imports, full imports, and a whole lot of “madam, let me give you some guidance,” we learned the hard way what it really takes.
Somewhere Between Leaving and Belonging

The whole point of moving to Zambia was to step away from city life and Leopards Hill delivers on that. Imagine acres of garden, no close neighbours, towering trees, and regular visits from trumpeter hornbills.
