Zambia Suggested Trips

A few miles north of here is Hillwood Farm founded by the Fisher family, decendants of a missionary who walked in from the Atlantic side in the 1800's. A functioning farm, orphanage, primary and secondary schools, and a game viewing ranch.. and the Fishers are still there, working side-by-side with the Lunda people.

Stay at Africa House or the Hot Springs just a bit further on. Great food and you can sit in the hot springs drinking good whiskey and watching the shooting stars!

Take a visa card, there is only one bank in the city where you can draw out money using a mastercard!

Whenever you plan a trip in July, do not miss the Mutomboko ceremony. each year again, last friday and saturnday of the month July, the Lunda king celebrates this magnificant ceremony. From early friday morning thousends of people gather together arround the king's palace. Lots drums and dumdums, traditional dancing, 2 days of ceremonial activities... If you look for a place to iovernight, try to come into contact with Thomas Morrow: an American missionary develloping an orphanage just near by.

Don't get your laundry done in Livingstone! They say to you that it's gonna cost 10 US dollars, but ask afterwords for 50 US dollars!!
