  • Planning a trip to Zambia? You should NOT skip the capital, Lusaka!
    In my opinion, Lusaka may well be the most underrated city trip in Africa: whether it’s culture and history, the bustling nightlife or the variety of café and restaurants - including the delicious traditional buffet, matebeto.
    My friends and I spent a weekend (3 days) in Lusaka in October 2022. We were so happy not to have discounted the capital. So many people fly directly to Livingstone to see Mosi-oa-Tunya (Victoria Falls).
    Stay tuned for part 2 of my Zambia series where we’ll explore Livingstone (aka Chuma & Susi town), the mighty Zambezi River, Mosi-oa-Tunya and Devil’s Pool - all part of another epic ‪@africanbushcamps‬ adventure.

    That is ubwali in Chibemba. One of the well spoken language in Zambia especially on the copper belt of Zambia.
    The Nyanja speaking people of Zambia call it Insima. You were right. in Kenya they call it Ugali. In Uganda. Posho. Anyway, there is a little difference in preparation of Ubwali in different countries.
    In Ghana they call it Banku.

    I grew up Lusaka. It's underrated if you have money, or have locals to show you around. Otherwise as a whole its a very mixed bag.
    The urban planning is quite bad so you have nice areas side by side with squalid areas.
    Lusaka is probably much more livable than most African cities. But for tourism I wouldn't even rank it top 5 in our county.

      @@TitaT nOT "WHICH MAINLY RUNS IN ZAMBIA". Which is in Zambia. Hence the name "Zambia" which means "of the Zambezi River. Had it not been for our first president-who loved Africa so much, we would now have had all the Falls to ourselves. But instead he gave part of Zambia to Zimbabwe and the other large part to Botswana. But we dont share the Zambezi with nobody-we own it, we originate it, and we give it to everybody else thats needs water-Otherwise we could ve have long time blocked and contained it within Zambia if we were as selfish as Zimbabweans are for them to claim that the Vic falls is theirs-where what natural perspective? The Land was all Zambians and Cecil Rhodes divided it to cause confusion amongst and D,Livingstone even made things worse by naming it Victoria falls. When you are a good person you always get taken advantage of. Zambian shouldnt have gone the route of Pan Africanism from day 1, cos look now, all our sacrifices for all these neighboring countries non of all these countries that made us to be poor untill today'because of sanctions we got for supporting them" have paid off. Last case scenario is to receive respect from the person you helped but non of that is happening, instead Zimbabwe is spitting in our face and claim the Vic falls? Do you even know what the word Zambezi means ? which is the only river that pours into the falls. Tell me what the word Yambeji(Zambezi) means - Zimbabweans?
