Lusaka City Tour

Service Description

Overview Lusaka! Capital city of Zambia, and a melting pot of cultures. Come with me on this day tour to explore this understated but wonderful city that I call home. This Lusaka City Tour takes us to the city's main spots, but also to places that are off the radar. We come across men and women in smart suits going about their work, walking the pavements alongside those pushing goods on wheelbarrows. In this city of contrasts, modern shopping malls are found down the road from roadside fruit and veg stalls. This tour will give you a balanced view of the city, explored in a relaxed and safe way with me as your driver-guide from start to end. Highlights We visit the Lusaka Museum, downtown Lusaka, a women's project, the elephant orphanage, a township, a suburb, the cultural village, memorial park, and have lunch at a local restaurant. If there's enough time, we will end the tour with a sundowner at my favourite terrace cafe.
