I wonder if anyone can identify country/region of origin for this axe?

Hardwood handle, darkened top and bottom, quite heavy. Decorated with what looks like screw-heads hammered into the wood. Very sharp blade.

Best regards/Daggpil

Hello, it's from Africa for sure, others will be able to tell you from where exactly.

Its most likely Barotse/Lozi people from Western Zambia.
