Natwange Backpackers 3 stars
Lusaka
Natwange Backpackers offers accommodation in Lusaka. The bed and breakfast has an outdoor pool and guests can enjoy a drink at the bar.
Certain rooms have a seating area for your convenience. Some units include views of the pool or garden. The rooms have access to a shared bathroom.
After around two years of traveling this is one of the most favorable hostels I have been. It is a green oasis in the middle of the city of Lusaka, a shopping mall is as close as a 10 min walk. Breakfast is made of egg, bread, Avocado, jam, peanut butter, corn flakes and coffee or tea - as much as you want. The pool is always clean and fresh. I loved this place.

JonathanYoung couple - 6.6Scored 6.6PleasantRated pleasant· 365 reviewsThis is one of the few cheap hostels (or backpackers lodge as it's known in Zambia) that cater for regional and international travelers. It's fun generally. The staff are great, very helpful, fun and friendly. The food and beer is cheap. The setting is good. Location; 10 min walk from the main bus station or to Cairo Street. 5 min by taxi to the main night life area. I stayed again when I came back to Lusaka. They even gave me a discount for the private room and it became my home away from home.WartkesSolo traveller

- 6.0Scored 6.0PleasantRated pleasant· 112 reviewsThis backpacker hostel embodies the quintessential African experience, situated in close proximity to several conveniences such as "Levy Mall" and the Lusaka City Fire Station. Additionally, "Manda Hills" is just a pleasant 15-20 minute stroll away. The staff here is not only amicable but also exceptionally helpful.
Tony ;-)Solo traveller - 6.6Scored 6.6PleasantRated pleasant· 365 reviewsCheap price and good location, ideal if you're in between places and don't want to spend too much. It's definitely a backpacker's place so don't expect too much of it. But is totally enough for a couple of nights, just ask for a room in the backyard.QuentinYoung couple
