subject: Tour Lusaka From A Zambia Hotel [print this page] In Africa, tourism is bigIn Africa, tourism is big. To say that its a lifeline for some countries would not be too much of a stretch so it makes sense that in East Africa, a Zambia hotel like Southern Sun Lusaka, takes steps to being environmentally friendly too. It was recently certified environmentally responsible, adding credence to its reputation as a Zambia hotel with a long and positive history dating back to 1952.
Visitors to this country, renowned for its natural beauty, can rest assured that their desire for a relatively luxurious stay (with all the modern amenities that regular travellers are accustomed to) will be satisfied at this Zambia hotel. This means that guests checking in there get comfort and tradition too.
Not everybody flies in to the country for a holiday though. Business travellers enjoy the proximity of this Zambia hotel to the central business district, where embassies and government offices are established, as well as the airport, which is just 24km away.
If youre on a tight schedule, but cant resist the opportunity to inspect a local attraction close to this Zambia hotel, try the Munda Wanga Environmental Park or the Lower Zambezi National Park.
You can drive to both these destinations, where many beautiful wild creatures live in their natural environment. Its also possible to fly by charter plane to the Lower Zambezi National Park. Its a 40-minute flight to the countrys youngest wildlife sanctuary, which straddles the great Zambezi River opposite the world-renowned Mana Pools Reserve in Zimbabwe.
If history is more your thing, however, youll no doubt appreciate a visit to the Lusaka National Museum, where you can see exhibits depicting Zambian history and art. In a similar vein, the Political Museum and Freedom Statue are testament to the countrys fight for independence from colonial rule.
Tourists who love to see the architectural influence in a town theyve never toured before will enjoy seeing the stained-glass windows of the Anglican Cathedral in Lusaka. The intricate colours and patterns make an impressive sight.
Visitors who like to immerse themselves in the cultural attractions of a holiday city may consider watching traditional dancing at Kabwata Cultural Village or perusing local crafts like basketry, woodwork and pottery.
And if you love the nightlife, and want to boogie, get some sleep in the afternoon because Zambian nightlife starts late. The bars and nightclubs play rhythmic African music, and often feature live bands.
