LUSAKA BACKPACKERS

A 20-minute walk from Cairo Road, the bus station and malls in central Lusaka, this is the historic hostel for budget travelers in Zambia. Although quite busy, the place is pleasant with its friendly staff, its small pool (unfortunately green due to lack of maintenance) and its bar under a straw hut. The rooms are rustic, not always totally clean, with wooden beds and local fabric bedspreads. It is possible to order food, but a common kitchen is also available.
