The Tongas are different than the Bembas. The language is very different but most people understand Bemba. Being there and here in Lusaka has given me a deeper perspective into Zambian ethnicity. I spent most of the ten days on an island above the falls where I learned how to paddle a dugout. It was an experience like no other.
