Great Place! Manager, Ricon do good job. He took care about US just the way we dreamt of. Actually it was the best service we encountered on Africa. Spacious room, working tv ;) , bar well equiped. On the middle of front, nice small ponad with frog. Basic breakfast, but enough for the start (Edna is a good cook).the owner even made a nice gestue, sat with us and chat. We were touched when the Guys, hearing that i love mango, brought ones from their Garden. And there is receptionist-when we were leaving she called us a yango cab and talked to the driver asking him to deliver us safetely (it was a bus station) We didnt want to leave! If ever in Lusaka-we stay again!

Looking for a lodge?

Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.

    I was close to Mulungushi Hall, attending Zambia's Inaugural National Indaba for MSMEs and Cooperatives. The lodge was perfectly situated for this significant occasion. I missed breakfasts, but it was nice to come back to the lodge to choose from a selection of dinner options which were well prepared. Management gave me a room upgrade which was a big plus because restful sleep was key. The establishment has solar power for hot water.

    This is one of the few cheap hostels (or backpackers lodge as it's known in Zambia) that cater for regional and international travelers. It's fun generally. The staff are great, very helpful, fun and friendly. The food and beer is cheap. The setting is good. Location; 10 min walk from the main bus station or to Cairo Street. 5 min by taxi to the main night life area. I stayed again when I came back to Lusaka. They even gave me a discount for the private room and it became my home away from home.

    The location was a bit far from Lusaka downtown but in walking distance to two malls. Apart from an Indian restaurant there was only a KCB. The Escape Lodge is a spacious guesthouse with a small swimming pool. Rooms were proper and clean. Staff was friendly.

    Wild Dog's Lodge was a brilliant place to stay in Lusaka. We had a day between our safari ending and our flight out of Zambia. We wanted to continue the safari lodge vibe rather than stay in a standard hotel and this was perfect. The rooms and communal areas were really comfortable and I enjoyed a swim in the pool. Lovely grounds and the staff were all really friendly and helpful.

    Breakfast was quite disappointing, they kept running out of some of the foods like baked beans, brown bread, butter, coffee, cocao or hot choclate and the variety was below expectation. Lesser lodges provide far wider variety and the service itself seemed a bit disorganized
