A brief Overview of Lusaka
As like many other African cities, accommodation for an overnight stopover in Lusaka is often in a large, international hotel that guarantees comfortable rooms and a good level of service. For those wanting to be further out of the city, in surrounding suburbs, there are a couple of properties we would recommend that tick all the boxes for a comfortable sleep to refresh and revitalize such as the excellent Latitude 15 Degrees.
For those who want to see the city, Lusaka city and township tours can be organised through the hotels, which are intended to give an interesting overview of Lusaka’s history, tourism and daily local life. Other things to do ans see include the Kabwata Cultural Centre, the National Museum, several art museums and shopping malls.

Need more help?
As much as AI has changed the way we all approach our lives, there is still no substitute for picking up the phone and having a chat through the options with one of us on +44 1525 840 149
This allows us to completely tailor the property choices, costs and itinerary length to your needs…but we also understand that this is not always possible with the busy lives we all lead.
With this in mind, we have also put together a safari finder tool that should help you to narrow down the initial stages at which point we can jump in to “round off the edges” as it were.
Alternatively please feel free to send us an email with your timings, group size and rough likes and dislikes and we can get the ball rolling.
