Overview

Lusaka isn’t the easiest city to explore, but this tour opens the door to its hidden gems. We’ll begin at the Manjarts Foundation, where you’ll meet the founder, learn about their inspiring community art projects, and even take part in a hands-on weaving workshop. From there, we’ll walk through the Helen Kaunda neighbourhood, taking in the daily rhythms of local life, before travelling as a local; hopping on a local bus along Alick Nkhata Road, an authentic Zambian experience in itself!

Next, we’ll stop at JCS Food Market, a bustling Chinese market where you’ll discover the history and influence of the Chinese community in Zambia while exploring unique foods and products. The tour ends at the famous Longacres Matebeto, where you’ll sit down to enjoy traditional hand-picked dishes like impwa and katapa in a lively, authentic setting.

Whether it’s your first visit to Lusaka or you’ve been before, this tour gives you a real taste of the city, its people, and its culture.
