Our Expert Says
This well-known hotel brand provides a very comfortable base in the upmarket Cathedral Hill area of Lusaka. This choice is not about the African experience but rather the safe option for an overnight stop.

The Hotel
Location: Lusaka, Zambia
Number of Rooms: 224
All suites feature separate living and sleeping areas, and rooms with fully equipped kitchens are available upon request. Each room provides a private bath, whirlpool and dressing room. Mornings begin with an espresso or a Café Latte made with Zambian-grown Munali coffee, and there’s always a tempting selection of pastries on hand. Sandwiches, cakes and drinks are available for a casual lunch or snack, and a full afternoon tea is the perfect interlude in a busy schedule. Guests may relax by the expansive outdoor pool. Nearby, botanical gardens feature close encounters with elephants and other Zambian wildlife and a local craft-market encourages visitors to mingle with local artisans as they describe the intricacies of their unique handiwork. The Safari Bar invites you to settle into a comfy sofa to sip a cocktail, nibble on samoosas (small savoury pastries) and enjoy the entertainment. You’ll feel the modern African influence in the surrounding décor as you gather to recount the day’s events.
