Traditionally, the term Copperbelt includes the mining regions of Zambia's Copperbelt Province (notably the towns of Ndola, Kitwe, Chingola, Luanshya, and Mufulira in particular) and the Congo's Haut-Katanga and Lualaba provinces (notably Lubumbashi, Kolwezi, and Likasi).
Copperbelt, province, central Zambia, east-central Africa. It is bounded by North-Western (to the west) and Central (south) provinces and by the Democratic Republic of the Congo (to the north and east). Ndola, in the east, is the capital of the province.
When people fly in through Ndola airport, they need a reliable, professional driver/guide to take them around the Copperbelt towns and surrounding areas. This is cheaper than hiring a car.
