Zambia beckons through hotels in Lusaka
When you arrive in Lusaka, the capital city of Zambia, get ready for adventure! Check in to hotels in Lusaka and prepare to be dazzled by a wealth of world-renowned spectacles. The country has some of the best safari guides and camps in Africa, ready to thrill safari goers with all it has to offer.
Southern Sun Ridgeway Lusaka is one of the hotels in Lusaka that is a good place to start from. It's a respected establishment, known for its warm, friendly service and high standards of accommodation. Whether you're in the city on business or on your way to a new adventure, rest assured that you'll have a good experience there.
Getting around from hotels in Lusaka is relatively easy by taxi – that's the preferred means, although there are alternatives, but it's advisable to negotiate your rate with the driver before you get going.
Further afield from hotels in Lusaka, is Zambia's trump card - the majestic Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River, still with all the magnificence and splendour that struck David Livingstone when he first saw it.
Described by the Kololo tribe that lived in the area in the 1800s as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya' (‘the Smoke that Thunders'), it's a vivid description of a giant curtain of water tumbling into a deep gorge 2 km wide and 100 m deep. It's estimated that 546 million cubic meters of water per minute fall off this precipice so it's no wonder that the spray can be seen from miles away.
From your hotels in Lusaka you can ponder how to best experience this for yourself. Once you reach the Falls, you can choose to see it from the air - by microlight or fixed wing aircraft.
If you'd rather have your feet on the ground, you can go on several walks. There is a well-marked, paved path through the rain forests that reveals views of the cascading water or you can walk along the lip of the Falls – but only in the dry season. Nevertheless, don't take anything with you that you don't want to get wet as the spray is bound to reach you.
A view from the bottom up gives another perspective. You can climb down to "The Boiling Pot" (it's steep but there are steps) to see the water thundering over the cliff, into the Batoka Gorge, and over the rapids. It's a remarkable sight.
