ZMW105, chalet from ZMW290; )
The grassy campsite here, shaded by big trees, is
popular with overlanding groups. The security is good, while the swimming pool and bar
(which sells snacks) are nice touches. Chalets are cool and comfortable and modelled on
the traditional thatch hut. Firewood is for sale and there is an abutting walkable safari area
with animals that don't want to eat you. It's about 12km south of the city centre.
Minibuses from the City Bus Station or South End Roundabout go past the gate.

This upmarket and peaceful guesthouse is one of the best in Lu-

(and ever-growing); it's a place where you can wander well away from other guests. Three
rooms in a separate cottage have air conditioning and there's a lounge with TV and com-
fortable couches. Located around 4½km southwest of the Kafue Roundabout on Cairo Rd.

Eating
The better places tend to congregate either inside or fairly close to the three main shop-
where you'll find a handful of quality independent restaurants and a wide range of mostly
South African fast-food and chains. Manda Hill probably has the best selection including
