Cairo road In Color

Sometimes we rush through the city so busy and pre-occupied that you dont notice how colorful Zambia can be. When I saw these pics of Cair Road, I was amazed. usually the little things that can be irritating are some of the most beautiful. Check out these pics and let us know what you think.

Cairo Road is one of the main streets in the City, and a great place to start your exploring. If you are in, or have been to Lusaka’s Cairo road, What places along here are your favourite??

Welcome to the Magic of Zambia!

From one of the seven natural wonders of the world, the stunning Victoria Falls, to the growing range of entertainment in our dynamic capital Lusaka, welcome to our beautiful country.

Zambia has something for everyone. Take a bush trail through one of our 19 untouched National Parks or marvel at the colorful costumes and radiant dances at our traditional ceremonies. With an excellent reputation for peace and warm hospitality, 72 tribes live in harmony and welcome you to explore with ease.

What better way to start the holiday and adjust to new surroundings than by spending a few days exploring Lusaka, a vibrant city with a growing number of places to enjoy. We are amazed at the developments in the last few years alone, which have seen an explosion of development in the capital.

Our series of guides kicks off with a guide to Lusaka. We’re comiling a comprehensive guide for travellers and residents who want to find something new to do, and it will be out early next year on shop shelves and online. We invite you to come on board and be part of this exciting project to cover everything there is to do in this bustling capital city of Lusaka.

Watch the beautiful sunset while sipping a cocktail in one of Lusaka’s boutique restaurants, feast on local food in tranquil settings, or spend the evening soaking up some culture at the theatre – this guide will tell you where to find it. If you have any ideas of places we can include, email us and let us know.

The guide will be updated every year, and after Lusaka we’ll be extending beyond to cover other areas of interest including Luangwa Valley, Livingstone and the Copperbelt. Embrace this opportunity to celebrate our country with this unique and exciting range of publications!
