Lusaka Tours Key Information Testimonials

Zambia’s bustling capital city is a microcosm of what Zambia is all about – a traditional African city that is rapidly transforming in to a hub of modernity and is at the heart of its successful economic growth.

Whilst there isn’t much in the city to enjoy from a tourist perspective, its status as a regional business and commerce hub means there are some very good hotels to stay in here. Visitors will generally require a night in Lusaka on arrival as most flights to National Parks depart before international flights arrive, as well as possibly at the end of a trip.

In addition to the excellent city hotels, there is a small nature reserve on the edge of Lusaka where guests requiring longer stays can relax and get a feel for being in the bush, whilst also participating in their varied conservation projects.

The team at True Travel had a simple brief: to send us on the world’s best family safari. As soon as our boat headed down the Zambezi, it all kicked off; we passed a herd of hippos, a lazy crocodile and a giraffe drinking nonchalantly on the riverbank. A magical experience from beginning to end. Nothing was too much trouble and if we had any issue that needed resolving, there was always someone on hand to do this. Before and after, they were off the charts – simply an awesome team.
