The whole of Zambia is an earthquake-prone zone, with the disaster usually very strong, destructive to ruinous.

According to the United States Geological survey, Zambia was hit by an earthquake at the southern area of Lake Tanganyika in February 2017. The magnitude of the earthquake was 5.7 on the Richter scale. While the quake was not destructive because it happened around the national park area, it was felt in Tanzania and DRC.
