As we walk through, you’ll get a sense of how these two cultures blend — in the food, the people, and the everyday rhythm of the market. We’ll pause for a drink here and take a moment to get to know each other before we move on.
Matebeto Long acres
And the food? Get ready. You’ll enjoy 5+ hand-picked dishes, loved by locals and packed with Zambian flavour. There are a variety of different protein options including - juicy T-bone steak, perfectly grilled sausage, fresh fish, and even a range of vegetarian and vegan options, there’s something for everyone. The variety of vegetables, like impwa, katapa, and bondwe, adds a wholesome touch to your meal. Locals gather here for lunch — a truly authentic experience. (Note: dishes may vary depending on the day — that’s the charm of local favourites.)
Bo'jangles Lusaka
To wrap up our night tour, we’ll head to Bo’jangles, a lively spot where the atmosphere truly comes alive after dark. The air is filled with the sounds of local live music, from soulful tunes to high-energy beats that get everyone moving. This is where locals gather to enjoy great food, good company, and fantastic music. It’s the perfect place to end the evening, soaking in the vibrant nightlife and the authentic Zambian culture.
