Sightseeing
Chingola is best known for the Konkola Copper Mines, open to visiting. If you're a golfing enthusiast, it said that Nchanga Golf course in Chingola is one of the most beautiful and well kept courses in Africa.
A must if you're this far north is a visit to Chimfunshi Chimpanzee Sanctuary, the largest and most famous chimpanzee orphanage in the world. Founded in 1983, it is home to 70 chimps rescued from Central Africa and the world over. A visit to Chimfunshi is a fascinating and often emotional experience and well worth an excursion.
