Mufulira

Mufulira is another city in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia that was established in 1930. It is the administrative capital of the Mufulira District. The name of the city translates directly to “Place of Abundance and Peace” and shares its international border with DR Congo.

Mufulira is primarily a mining city, where the residents have built their lives around the mine. While the city itself is a functional urban unit, you can travel to the outskirts of Mufulira where you can check out rolling hills, valleys, rivers and much more where you can enjoy picnics and treks.

When you are out exploring the city, apart from the massive mining structures in Mufulira, you can check out the Chembe Bird Sanctuary and St. Lawrence Catholic Church, which are the two main tourist attractions.

Birdwatching in the Chembe Bird Sanctuary is a very popular activity in Mufulira. You can catch sight of many different and colourful migratory birds that frequent the sanctuary. Mufulira is also surrounded with rugged hills and valleys that are ideal for trekking and hiking.

Mufulira experiences warm weather throughout the year. During the monsoon season, which occurs primarily during December, the area sees a substantial amount of rainfall.
