Lusaka - The vibrant capital of Zambia

by tpk2 - last update: Apr 6, 2007

As zambiatourism.com puts it: "Lusaka is a city whose bustling chaos has a certain charm that is just Zambia." Sounds like a pretty precise descprition to me!

Originally a village named after its headman Lusaaka, the city nowadays has over one million inhabitants. Lusaka became the capital in 1935, after Livingstone.
A stunning fact is that the out of the two million habitants of Lusaka two thirds are unemployed. Desbite this, there are surprisingly few beggars on the streets.
