Streets squares and districts to visit Lusaka

The areas of Makeni and Lilayi are located along Kafue road, leaving the city. While Makeni, closer to Lusaka, is a fairly active area and has a large mall (Makeni Mall), Lilayi is a predominantly agricultural area, relatively remote from the city.

One of the most popular area in Lusaka, Leopards Hill Road ("the leopards hill road") is the gateway to the campaign (the "bush") surrounding the city. Many houses and shops are built along this road, which still offers a superb natural setting, which has become rare in town. There are some restaurants, guest houses and handicraft shops.

One of the most original and typical artisanal neighbourhoods in Lusaka. It manufactures and sells everything: menuiserie, metalwork, spare parts for cars, furniture in all kinds, fruits and vegetables… If it is not recommended to walk for too long, it is possible to cross this area by road, by continuing on Alick Nkhata Avenue since the French Alliance or Arcades. You can then reach Kabulonga by Kudu Road.

Kabulonga and Woodlands, a beautiful area inhabited and flowery, are the main residential areas for expatriates and high Zambian social class. There are some supermarkets, restaurants and hotels.

The historic centre of Lusaka, called by the premises «town» («the city»), consists of some main streets, grouped west of Cairo Road. Cairo Road is historically the city's main shopping artery where coffee, shops, banks and travel agencies are concentrated. It was around this street that British settlers built the first buildings in the city. If it is quite interesting to walk around, to immerse itself in local life, it is essential to follow some basic security rules: do not take bags or valuables with you and take care of pickpockets; Don't stop talking with street vendors who challenge you and always close all doors of your vehicles, whether you are inside or not.
