style="FONT-SIZE: 14px">The area of modern Zambia was inhabited by Khoisan
hunter-gatherers until around AD 300, when the more technologically
advanced migrating Bantu began to displace or absorb them.In the 12th
century, major waves of Bantu-speaking immigrants arrived during the Bantu
expansion. Among them, the Tonga people (also called Ba-Tonga, "Ba-"
meaning "men") were the first to settle in Zambia and are believed to have
come from the east near the "big sea".</SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14px">The Nkoya people also arrived early in the
expansion,coming from the Luba–Lunda kingdoms located in the southern
parts of the modern Democratic Republic of the Congo and northern Angola,
followed by a much larger influx, especially between the late 12th and
early 13th centuries.</SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14px">At the end of the 18th century some of the Mbunda
migrated to Barotseland, Mongu.upon the migration of among others, the
Ciyengele The Aluyi and their leader, the Litunga Mulambwa especially
prized the Mbunda for their ability to fight.</SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14px">In the early 19th century, the Nsokolo people
settled in the Mbala district of Northern Province. During the 19th
century, the Ngoni and Sotho peoples arrived from the south. By the late
19th century, most of the various peoples of Zambia were established in
the areas they currently occupy. The arrival of Europeans was just yet
another such influx.</SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">The earliest
European to visit the area was Portuguese explorer Francisco de Lacerda in
the late 18th century. This territory, located between Portuguese
Mozambique and Portuguese Angola was claimed and explored by Portugal in
that period. Other European visitors followed in the 19th century. The
most prominent of these was David Livingstone, who had a vision of ending
the slave trade through the "3 Cs" (Christianity, Commerce and
Civilization).</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">He was the
first European to see the magnificent waterfall on the Zambezi River in
1855, naming them "Victoria Falls" after Queen Victoria – he described
them thus: "Scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their
flight". Locally the falls are known as "Mosi-o-Tunya" or "(the)
thundering smoke" (in the Lozi or Kololo dialect). The town of
Livingstone, near the Falls, is named after him. Highly publicised
accounts of his journeys motivated a wave of European visitors,
missionaries and traders after his death in 1873<BR><A
