Activity itinerary

New Soweto Market

  • 1h 30m
This is not a tourist trap; this is the real, beating heart of Lusaka. We will dive headfirst into the vibrant chaos of one of Southern Africa's largest markets. With your guide Petros leading the way, you will navigate the maze-like alleys with complete confidence and safety. He will introduce you to friendly local vendors, explain the unique fruits and vegetables, and show you the best spots for incredible, authentic photos. This is your chance to witness the true pulse of everyday Zambian life.

Game Rangers International

  • 1h 30m

This is the emotional highlight of our day. We will time our arrival perfectly for the strict 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM public viewing session at this incredible rescue facility. You will get to witness the unforgettable moment the orphaned baby elephants eagerly rush out for their midday milk feeding. Your guide, Petros, will explain the amazing conservation work being done here to give these gentle giants a second chance at life in the wild.

Los Angeles Boulevard

  • 1h
Get ready for a true taste of Lusaka! We will head to this famous local hotspot, a lively open-air area where Lusaka residents go for the best grill in town. You will choose between succulent, freshly grilled chicken, beef, or fish, all cooked over charcoal right in front of you. Your meal will be served with nshima (the local staple) and a variety of traditional Zambian side dishes. This is not a tourist restaurant; it's an authentic culinary experience.

Lusaka National Museum

After lunch, we will immerse ourselves in Zambia's rich history and vibrant culture. We will spend time exploring the museum's fascinating exhibits, which cover everything from archaeology and ethnography to the country's struggle for independence. Your guide, Petros, will provide context and highlight the most significant displays, bringing the stories of Zambia's past to life.

Freedom Statue

Just a short distance from the museum, we will make a stop at this iconic and powerful monument. The Freedom Statue commemorates Zambia's independence and is a must-see landmark in Lusaka.

Our final stop is the perfect place to find a meaningful souvenir of your time in Zambia. This charming open-air market is home to local artisans showcasing their beautiful, handmade crafts.
