Kilimanjaro Country Lodge

Lusaka


A good out-of-town option – especially for groups and families – around 7.5km east of the city centre, Kilimanjaro consists of several well-kept, low-slung buildings on a manicured lawn. The 11 rooms are spacious and simply furnished and management is responsive to any requests. A perk is free laundry for guests staying more than a night.

The curio-filled garden restaurant here has a large menu including wraps, pasta, burgers, salads and excellent coffee and a mouthwatering selection of desserts; it has a playground for children and Shetland pony rides, which roam the grounds.
