Lusaka Walking Tour

Lusaka, Zambia

Why Walk Lusaka

Lusaka has grown from a small railway siding into a bustling capital of several million people. The city center has modern malls alongside the chaotic sprawl of Soweto Market. Unusually for a capital city, Lusaka has a nature park within its limits — the Munda Wanga Environmental Park — and is well-positioned as a base for reaching South Luangwa and other safari destinations.
