Lusaka safaris, lodges and wildlife tours

Lusaka at first may not be appealing but as one spends more time here, you will soon realise that Lusaka is a warm and energetic city. It is a city that has experienced much, from colonial beginnings; years of socialist independence and eventually with great difficulty to administer its democratic beginnings.
It is a sprawling, unplanned metropolis with many multi-storey buildings, high-walled suburbs and busy shantytowns. Fast-growing industrial development has brought together people of many nationalities, making it a bustling centre for economic, political and cultural activities.
The markets are a hive of activity; the thousands of stalls are filled and cleared every day. A myriad of motor spares dealers, restaurants, hairdressers, fishmongers, fruit sellers and rows and rows of "salaula" - discarded clothing from the West sold to Africa by the bale.
Venture out to a nightclub or roadside shebeen and "get in the groove", so to speak, of the local people. Dance the night away to the sounds of rhumba, kwela, techno or good old rock and roll.
