Blank map of Zambia

Slides, worksheets and posters about Zambia all need the same raw material: its shape, with nothing else on it. This page offers that in two versions, Outline only and With borders, which draws the lines between the 10 administrative areas. Each comes as a PNG on a transparent background, an SVG and a PDF, and none carries a single name.

On a title slide or a report cover

Put the PNG on a slide with a background colour of your own. The PNG has a transparent background, so your colour shows behind the outline and only the shape of Zambia sits on the slide. A short title and one line of text beside it make a cover for a market report, a trip brief or a school presentation. Pick Outline only here, since the inner lines add clutter at cover size.

Numbered areas in your own layout

With a word processor you control the layout. Place the With borders PNG on the page, draw a numbered circle on five areas, say Eastern, Lusaka, Northwestern, Southern and Luapula, and give each number a line of notes beside the map. The list of areas lower on this page gives the spellings.

In a design tool

The SVG opens in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma as clean paths. Restyle the lines, fill the areas with a brand palette or cut the shape for a display. A craft project, a poster or the base of a logo sketch all start from the same file.

Which file, and what next

Take the PNG for documents and slides, the SVG for design work and the PDF when you want the outline on A4 or Letter. The PDF prints at 100%; for black and white and other print choices, go to the printable map of Zambia. If you need names, colours or a title on the map itself, Customise this map opens the outline in the editor, or use the editable map of Zambia.
