LUSAKA
Airlink connects you to Lusaka with direct flights from Johannesburg.
Lusaka is Zambia’s capital city and largest urban zone, as well as the geographic and commercial heart of the nation. It is known as one of southern Africa’s fastest growing cities with new developments springing up all over it. In addition to its numerous shops and hotels, there are many good restaurants and coffee shops for the discerning Airlink passenger. The bustling Central Market, and numerous small shops on Cairo Road, provide an authentic insight into Zambian culture and are great places to meet the locals.
While the efficient banking, ease of communication, and embassies in the city make Lusaka a useful place to visit in Zambia, it is most loved for being a key entry point for travellers wanting to explore the wild and remote areas of the country, such as the South Luangwa National Park.
For your return journey fly back to Johannesburg and travel beyond with Airlink to other key leisure and business destinations.
