Visiting Lusaka

Lusaka is the capital city of Zambia and is a relaxed and generally safe city. It is spread out over a large area, the school being in the South East of the city. The climate in November is generally good, with temperatures ranging between 17 and 30˚C. Rain showers are possible. November is a great time of year to visit Victoria Falls or go on safari. Walking safaris are a highlight in Zambia. 

Traveling to Lusaka

There are regular flights to Lusaka from several international hubs including: Johannesburg, Nairobi, Windhoek and Dubai. Visitors to Lusaka should check well in advance whether they need a visa to enter Zambia; however, in most cases, visas can be purchased at the airport.
