My city is well urbanized with beautiful roads and building structures. The people in the city are hard workers and tend to work early hours. We can say the causes a lot of traffic congestion in the morning hours but wears off as it gets to midday. We have beautiful sceneries such as waterfalls in the north called the Victoria falls.

Crime rates are very low. Affordable accomodation in various affluent or upmarket areas. Improved road networks, though traffic build up is a frequent occurrence due to some ongoing construction works. Amenities in various areas are within reach with a number of modern shopping malls distributed around the town. High quality local and international schools provide a plethora of choices for school going children.

Lusaka has a lot of traffic so if you would like to get to a meeting or function on time, you would have to start at least an hour earlier. do not use the public bus to use the taxi. use the main roads and not dusty roads as thugs can attack you at any point. you can also visit some of the great lodges in the city. like Chaminuka Lodge. other beautiful sites to see would be the Kafue river which is just on the outskirts of the city.

Lusaka is Zambia’s capital city which is marked by both sprawling slums and high cost neighborhoods. The city has an ever improving road network to cater for its ever increasing population and traffic. Dotted around different neighborhoods are shopping malls which can be conveniently accessed by anyone. Visiting some parts of the city requires caution as drug addicted street children often terrorize the unknowing residents or visitors. Generally, most neighborhoods in Lusaka are safe to visit or stay.

One must consider that there is a lot of traffic during rush hour, there are many crooked individuals lurking at every dark alley, police officers who will only do their job when bribed and above all, politicians willing to take advantage of anyone for their benefit, before moving to Lusaka, the capital of Zambia.
