Getting Around in Lusaka

Recommended Car Classes

Due to the varied terrain, 4x4 vehicles are recommended. They're versatile and perfect for both city cruising and adventuring beyond the city limits into Zambia's incredible landscapes.

Parking and Traffic

Lusaka's roads can be extremely busy, especially during peak hours. It's recommended to utilise off-street parking where available. Several shopping centres and large hotels supply secure parking spaces.

Speed Limits and Traffic Rules

The general speed limit in built-up areas is 50km/h and 100km/h on highways. Always drive with caution, keeping an eye out for pedestrians and unexpected wildlife crossings.

Exploring Beyond

Attractions

Must-visits include the Kabwata Cultural Village for a slice of traditional life and crafts, and the Chilenje House which served as the late President Kenneth Kaunda's secret hideout.

Surrounding Cities

Hit the road towards Livingstone, the gateway to the mighty Victoria Falls, less than 6 hours drive. Combine it with a visit to the charming town of Kabwe, home to the Big Tree National Monument.

Lusaka's Climate and the Perfect Times to Visit

Lusaka experiences a hot semi-arid climate. It's perfect to visit all year round, but the dry winter season from May to August offers comfortable temperatures with little rainfall -- ideal for road trips!

Money Matters

The official currency is the Zambian Kwacha - ATMs are readily available and credit cards widely accepted. It's advised to carry some cash for smaller businesses.
