Zambia’s capital, Lusaka, is the gateway to some of Africa’s most spectacular wildlife and natural scenery — including Victoria Falls, just a short onward flight or scenic drive away.

About Lusaka, Zambia
Lusaka is a sprawling, green city of about 3.5 million people, built on a high plateau at 1,279 metres above sea level — giving it an agreeable climate year-round. As Zambia’s economic and administrative hub, Lusaka is home to international businesses in the copper, agriculture, and tourism sectors. The Lusaka National Museum tells Zambia’s story from prehistoric times to independence, while the Kabwata Cultural Village showcases traditional crafts from all of the country’s 73 tribes. Lusaka’s Arcades and Manda Hill shopping centres are the commercial heartbeat of the city. But Zambia’s greatest draw lies beyond the capital: the Lower Zambezi National Park, South Luangwa National Park (one of Africa’s finest for walking safaris), and Kafue National Park — one of the largest in the world — all make Zambia a world-class safari destination. Victoria Falls, shared with Zimbabwe, is accessible by short domestic flight or a 6-hour drive from Lusaka.

Best Time to Fly to Lusaka from Uganda
Zambia’s dry season (May to October) is the best time to visit. Vegetation thins out, wildlife concentrates around water sources for spectacular game viewing, and Victoria Falls thunders at full force in June–July. The green season (November–April) brings lush scenery and birdwatching at its best, plus significantly lower accommodation rates. Airfares from Entebbe tend to be cheapest in January–February and October–November.
