We intended to camp here after being informed that they have camping grounds but note that there is no campsite here! There's a parking area/construction area that we were told to use and needless to say we didn't stay here.

Pretty standard backpacker hostel, stayed twice en-route, once in mixed dorm and once in single sex dorm when mixed was full. Beds are clean and comfortable, food's alright though they'd run out of a lot when we were there (I suspect that doesn't happen often - bad timing), and there are plenty of places to eat not too far anyway....

My girlfriend and i camped at Kalulu Backpackers for 10 days. We only had good experience! The staff is very friendly, especially the irish owner was absolutely wonderfull to us! The chef is a bit of an excentric but he cooks very delicious meals for a good price. The Bar is also happening if youre interested in that kind of... More

I stayed at Kalulu for a month while volunteering nearby. The place is affordable and run by friendly ex-backpackers who seem to have all the answers to those niggling questions (where to get a cab, best grocery shop, what to do in Lusaka, how to go on Safari, etc etc etc). They also seem to never run out of patience... More

A very affordable hostel in quite a decent location with friendly staff, the place is mostly a fascimile of the longstanding Lusaka Backpackers around the corner. Identical prices, similar configuration, has a pool and, most notably, a noisy outdoor bar where tourists and locals alike cavort to the sounds of drum and bass. Or the occasional soccer match. Surprisingly, there's... More

Although the place is perhaps not the most beautiful ever (swimming pool is not really worth it, the garden is fine to read a book but not thrilling), the rooms are fine though very basic, location is very good and most important is that the people are very friendly. They can help you out with almost anything, which is very... More

We booked this because we needed a place to get a good night's sleep in Lusaka before a long bus journey and saw the excellent reviews. Having stayed there I assume things must have gone downhill recently. On the plus side the bedding was clean and the bar well stocked but that's pretty much it. The layout of the main... More

This place isn't bad for 12 dollars a night but it's not great. The problem was the pictures and adds make it seem way nicer then it is. For instance, they advertise free breakfast but what that means is a lady throwing u a loaf of bread and telling you to make yourself toast.

A great place to stay in Lusaka. Recently left after a couple of months staying at Kalulu and miss it already. It is clean, comfortable, affordable and above all has a great relaxed family feel to it. Everyone is friendly and happy to help out and the facilities and location make it perfect for both travellers passing through Lusaka and... More
