napparawy Says: In Arcades area, you need to walk a bit behind Rhapsody's to find Chang, it has a nice seat outdoors. The food is tasty and not expensive. You must try stir fried duck with basil and pork/beef with cashwe nuts. You must try stir fried duck with basil and pork/beef with...
Mint Lounge: Best Cafe in Lusaka
napparawy Says: For me that's the best place to have breakfast, brunch, cafe, or dessert in Lusaka. Indoor and outdoor sitting, outdoor sitting is just lovely.Not expensive. The place is always full of expatriats. I like the burgers there! Burgers
Greatwalk0 Says: Portico is probably one of Lusaka's best restaurants. Situated near the Lusaka Polo Grounds, Portico has beautiful decor and great outdoor seating. When one enters the restaurant it almost (ALMOST) feels a bit New York chic. Pretty impressive for Lusaka! We were...
Greatwalk0 Says: What can you really expect from a Chinese restaurant in Lusaka, Zambia? My expectations for Dong Fang were pretty low and they were only slightly exceeded.Located in a mansion style home in the Longacres community, Dong Fang has seating for about 100 in one large dining...
Pizza Inn: Pizza Inn, the Bonjour centre
georeiser Says: There are some restaurants in Northmead, off Great East Road. Pizza Inn in the Bonjour centre is just a fastfood Pizza eathouse. A small pizza costs 35,000 Kwacha (7 USD). A can of coke costs 6000 Kwacha. Pizza.
Arcades Shopping Mall: Arcades Shopping Mall
georeiser Says: Arcades Shopping Mall contains two places where you can party, Times Café and Rhapsody. Both places has a high-end and classy clientele with nice waitresses. But this is not a typical place for ordinary local people.
mpanizza Says: Johnny's is one of my favorites. It's got a great dance floor built over the indoor pool (I know... very strange). The bar is run by some friendly Chinese and is pretty inexpensive. It's well known in the expat community and attracts a fun crowd - especially the...
Contacts for TAXI drivers in Lusaka
MarioPortugal Says: :While in Lusaka my preferred Taxi drivers were Mr Martin (Telf: 0966.433.455) and Mr Sikombe (Telf: 0977.152.337).I was in Lusaka for one week only and did several taxi rides with them. They seemed both experience drivers, very professional as well and I ended up very happy...
freud Says: If you travel on a tight budget you might want to use public transports to get around in Lusaka. Small toyota hiace buses takes up to 18 passengers and the bigger nissan buses takes around 35. It costs maybe ~1500 -3500 Kwacha (1/3-3/4 $) depending on the distance you want...
georeiser Says: The direct bus from Lusaka to Lilongwe goes when it's full, maybe between 10 AM and 1 PM. The trip takes 13-14 hours. The price to Lilongwe is 150,000 Kwacha (30 USD). If you like to go to Chipata, buses leave Lusaka from early morning through to late afternoon (10-12 hours...

City Market: Anything you need..

freud Says: Zambia uses British-standard electric power connections. Euro-standard plugs are often crammed into the British sockets without a converter since they "almost fit". The result is poor connection and damage to the socket. When low quality British plugs are put in the sockets...
georeiser Says: It's a tough business to attract customers to travel on their bus when several other buses are going to the same destination. You are inundated by people shouting the praise of their bus company. Some companies engage unemployed men to track down and get hold of tourists to...
No buses in Zambia departs if they are not full
georeiser Says: I came to Lusaka bus station in the morning, and a local man rushed towards me when I walked out of the taxi. He said are you going to Livingstone, Chipata, Lilongwe? I said yes, Lilongwe. He said come on, follow me, the bus is leaving very soon. And we walked past several...
Ardglass Says: Although I didn't stay in the Holiday Inn it was around the corner from the Taj Pomodzi where I was based. The Holiday Inn appears to be a fine hotel, however, just watch the cost of drink. A 500ml can of Guiness is around $8.
Kid-A Says: If you're like me, you tell time not by a wrist watch or the position of the sun, but by my mobile phone. Well I couldn't get a mobile phone signal in either Zambia or Botswana, so leaving my phone on caused the battery to die much quicker (usually my mobile phone battery...
georeiser Says: With a population of 3,5 mill. people, Lusaka is considered to be one of the fastest growing cities in Africa. It's a city with both gravel roads and bitumen roads, dilapidated houses with flat corrugated roof and modern concrete buildings. The pavements are in use for...
