Lusaka

Lusaka rises on the central Zambian plateau in Lusaka Province, and its inland position has made it Zambia’s principal administrative and commercial centre. The Kafue River runs through the western part of the province, while the city itself spreads across a broad, gently rolling urban plain rather than a riverfront. Chosen as the capital of Northern Rhodesia in 1935, Lusaka remains the national capital of independent Zambia. Cairo Road forms a longstanding central artery, and the Lusaka National Museum introduces the country’s archaeology, ethnography and contemporary art. Markets, churches, offices and new development give the city a fast-changing metropolitan rhythm.
