Things to see and do Mbala

This museum, opened in 1974, displays pieces collected in the 1940s by a Canadian missionary, Father Corbell. It is the best place in the country to discover the Bemba culture. There are four sections: ethnography, prehistory, history and natural history, plus an art gallery. One can contemplate an impressive collection of tools, weapons, musical instruments, utensils of daily life, costumes, masks... The Natural History section exhibits the different types of snakes of the region.

At Abercorn, 85 km south of Kasama, this monument marks the spot where General Von Lettow Vorbeck, commander of German forces in East Africa during World War I, surrendered. A weapon from 1890 is embedded in the stone. In reality, the general won the town of Kasama on November 13, 1918, two days after the Armistice was signed. The news did not reach the bush until a week later, and he capitulated on November 23.
