Zamcom Lodge

Lusaka


Although it looks like a school built in the '70s or earlier, this small motel-style complex has simple spick-and-span rooms. There’s a shady courtyard/car park with resident turkeys strutting their stuff out the front. Conferences and wedding receptions aren't uncommon on weekends, so it's best to check with reception beforehand as these can be loud and raucous affairs.
