Another year of life, another reason to be grateful. Today, I celebrate God’s goodness and the gift of life He has graciously given me. Reflecting on Psalm 91:16: “With long life I will satisfy you and show you my salvation.”

Straight from the Liuwa plains of Western Province, Zambia home of the second largest wildebeest Migration in the world, His Majesty The Litunga Lubasi Imwiko II and I can confirm —tomorrow, we (I) paddle! The 2025 Kuomboka is ON! 🚣‍♂️🌊 #Kuomboka2025 #RoyalJourney

Honoured to meet with UN Tourism’s Natalia Bayona & Elcia Grandcourt following my election as Chair of the UN Tourism Regional Commission for Africa. 🇿🇲🌍 Together, we’re advancing Africa’s tourism agenda — from human capital & green practices to stronger connectivity.

With clear Data & Evidence, the Zambian Tourism Sector is on the rise, with an exponential increase in tourist arrivals recorded since 2021. The tourism industry remains one of the key pillars of the Zambian economy, and my Ministry will ensure that this trajectory is sustained.

Productive discussions with Hon. Rodney Malindi Sikumba of the Ministry of Tourism on strengthening Zambia’s protected areas. With 31.4% of land under protection, in line with global targets, we explored ways to enhance management and mobilize innovative financing through BIOFIN in

Today, we commissioned the newly renovated Food Science Lab at ZITHS Fairview—funded by the Tourism Development Fund (TDF). With TEVET accreditation, students can now study using CDF & other support programs. Tourism is a driver of jobs, skills & innovation! 🇿🇲

We flagged off 🇿🇲’s largest wildlife move: 1,600 blue wildebeest & 300 zebras from Liuwa Plains NP to Kafue NP a $1.6M effort to balance ecosystems & boost tourism. Liuwa also welcomes back 50 Lichtenstein Hartebeests after 30+ years. Gratitude to BRE, APN & DNPW teams.
