The staff is so pleasant and well trained. The activities were really fun. Especially enjoyed the boat ride and horseback riding. Such a serene place, really great for any setting.
The drive isn't great, there's a long gravel stretch to get there but the destination is worth the drive. Expansive place, several animals to see including cheetahs, wine and cheese tasting, horse riding, and they have an impressive amount of local art and some sculptures. A great experience overall.
A big toast to James for hosting an outstanding wine tasting experience! His humor kept spirits high, and his expertise made every pour meaningful. Professional, engaging, and downright hilarious exactly the kind of energy we came for. See you next year same time.
A good get away from town location, surrounded by wildlife and all bush. Friendly staff but not good at time keeping. Great food, comfortable rooms. About rooms, I found it strange that they don't provide toothbrushes and toothpaste for such a big place. WiFi availability is good as nearly each room and space has connection. When here, be sure to go on a game drive, boat cruise and or a hike. DON'T FORGET YOUR TOOTHBRUSH!
Onsite booking/receptionist lady on duty 17 August was exceptional. Call booking service was great too - definitely cannot not the buffet organisation. Buffet food was nice but scarce in portions. No value for money food wise. Live entertainment really great👍
Chaminuka Lodge: The Perfect Lusaka Weekend Escape Chaminuka Lodge offers a fantastic respite from the busy city, situated just an hour's drive from Lusaka. This privately owned, small-scale resort and game park is an ideal destination for spending a weekend or a full day enjoying nature and unique activities. The Journey (Worth the Effort) The drive from Lusaka is relatively quick, making it perfect for a day trip. However, be prepared: the road leading to the lodge is really rough. While the drive is bumpy, the destination is absolutely worth the effort. The Full Day Experience We booked the comprehensive full-day activity package, and it was a superb experience. The package effectively acts as a mini-Safari, offering a great preview of the Zambian bush life without the travel time required for destinations like Chobe or Victoria Falls. The full-day itinerary was packed and highly enjoyable: Safari/Game Drive: A nice, private mini-safari experience, perfect for getting a taste of wildlife viewing. Wine and Cheese Tasting: A unique and enjoyable addition, featuring the lodge's own delicious, locally-made cheese from their on-site factory. Horse Riding: A wonderful way to explore the grounds and immerse yourself in the natural scenery. Lunch: Included in the package, providing a lovely break between activities. Overall Verdict: Chaminuka Lodge is more than just a resort; it's a dedicated nature park with diverse offerings, including a delightful cheese factory. It's a great place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy a variety of well-organized activities. If you are short on time but crave a genuine, albeit small-scale, African bush experience near the capital, you should give this a try.
I appreciated my stay at Chamunika Lodge. Having visited the lodge on several occasions over the years, I have observed a slight decline in certain standards. The check-in and check-out processes were commendably efficient, timely, and seamless, which contributed positively to our experience. However, there are a few areas that require attention. The rooms, while generally adequate, were notably cold. Despite using two blankets, all our team members expressed discomfort due to insufficient warmth. This sentiment was echoed even by delegates from colder climates such as the United Kingdom and the United States. We recommend the provision of heavier or thermal blankets to enhance guest comfort. We also acknowledge and support your commitment to environmental sustainability, particularly your efforts to reduce plastic usage. Nonetheless, the use of water flasks in the rooms was not well received, as it raised concerns about hygiene and convenience. Additionally, during the conference, water was served in glass bottles with red-tipped lids. We observed that most participants touched the lid directly when opening the bottles, which poses a hygiene risk due to potential cross-contamination. On a positive note, we found the staff to be consistently courteous, professional, and helpful. The lodge also demonstrated a commendable adherence to scheduled times, which was greatly appreciated. The food was great and meals were served on time.
Great experience on few wild animal tours, Feeding the lion , Cheetar experience is a must, horse riding, am told the boat rides are perfect ending but we had to leave early so missed that

Museum of Zambian history & culture, with archaeological & ethnographic exhibits, plus local art.
Slide 1 of 8
The museum may be small, but it offers a powerful look at Zambia's captivating history from prehistory to nowadays. You'll learn about the struggles and triumphs of its people, the (negative) impact of colonialism, and the nation's journey to independence and beyond. The exhibits highlight the resilience and pride of Zambians, echoing the national motto: One Zambia, one nation! A truly worthwhile experience.
Good place to start with when you visit Zambia and want to know of its political, social, and cultural history and evolution. Had a good guide who took us through the exhibitions and explains to us the stories behind it. Great setup and would definitely visit again.
Good place to visit if you're interested in Zambia's history
It was very informative..it had cross information on Jamaica and other islands. I like how they inter connect the relativeness of its historical contribution to other countries...Definitely worth going.
Very 👍 ce and lots of information. The 3 brothers crimes I was not aware. The history is well documented
It's a decent place to spend a couple of hours. I wouldn't feel sad if I missed it, but I'm glad I went. --What's there-- Floor 1: 95% dedicated to Zambia's first president Kenneth Kaunda. All the information feels like it was written by his press secretary as it's overwhelmingly positive. He comes across as a saint with a flawless reign of positivity and a legacy of gold. Reading through it was interesting and it sounds like he did a lot of good stuff, but it feels odd to have a museum exhibit written in such a one sided manner. Floor 2: 50% is a decent walk through of Zambia's political history, filling in the timeline pretty well. It goes over the ups and downs, explaining the things that seemed to have been missed on floor 1. I learnt a ton in this part. The remaining 50% is on evolution, as they found an important skull in Zambia.
Just woow. This place was absolutely spectacular 👌. A must visit. It's for all the history junkies and art enthusiasts. It was such a knowledge rich place absolutely beautiful 😍. I would definitely recommend. You will definitely learn a lot. From the history of humans to Zambia fight for freedom to how Zambia grew and flourished as well as about its culture and not forgetting all the wonderful leaders that have ruled over the country and brought it where it is today.
Interesting museum. I was expecting more arts exhibited, however the museum has some interesting historical artefacts and photographs on display. It was nice to learn more about Zambia and the development of democracy in this country.

Best place ever I love this place
The renovations are coming up very well. Looking forward to see a modern and once again vibrant shopping mall.
Fresh off a much needed revamping, this landmark shopping centre/mall has plentiful parking, unique cafes and so much more to offer!
Arcades Mall a notable part of Lusaka's Retail Scene Accessibility: Arcades Mall is conveniently located in the heart of Lusaka, along the Great East Road, making it highly accessible via major transport routes. Its location near the Embassy Park and close to residential areas and business districts also adds to its easy accessibility, making it a frequented spot for both locals and tourists.

From high-end fashion stores to more affordable options, there's something for everyone here.

The clean and comfortable environment, outdoor seating spaces, and a cinema complex add a layer of convenience for shoppers. The food court provides a variety of dining options, featuring local and international cuisines. Banking Facilities: Arcades Mall ensures ease of financial transactions by housing multiple ATMs and banking facilities, allowing for quick access to funds while shopping. This makes it convenient for visitors who want to carry out financial tasks as they shop. Parking: The mall offers ample parking spaces, and the management has ensured that the parking area is secure, well-lit and well-organized. This convenience in parking adds to the overall positive shopping experience at the mall.

The Arcades Shopping Mall has had a face lift and it looks beautiful. It's close to East Park Mall, the Mulungushi Conference Centre and the Agricultural Show Grounds. It's a long Great East Road to the Eastern part of Lusaka. It is simply a beautiful Mall.
Chilled mall not a lot of traffic compared to east park which is good , l love it

Flea & Street Markets
Slide 1 of 3
One of the best places in Lusaka to shop for handcrafted wooden collectives & souvenirs. There were many tent shops selling beautiful items at reasonable prices. It's a must visit place to shop & to make one's Zambia visit a memorable one. Please do visit & support the local handicrafts industry.
Nice small flea market with about 70-80 small shops. Mostly the stuff are same with garment,wood work , stone necklace or stone craft etc. Get quality with mixed types so one should really browse around and check the entire market before making a deal. Some of the stuff which are pure African taste are very nice... Things which you find are Bow and real arrows, knives, drums, handcrafted stuff, toys and lots of souvenir made out of wood. Some of them are really amazing. However bargain start with 40% of what ever price they have quoted and then maybe can get the deal at 50-60%. So enjoy and happy shopping
Ok place where you can find some cheap and not so cheap African presents. Main problem is that it seems those are manufactured somewhere else because I saw a lot of similar things elsewhere in Africa, from South Africa over Mozambique to Botswana, etc.

Relaxed natural setting for viewing Nile crocodiles, indigenous snakes, tortoises & other reptiles.
Slide 1 of 8
It’s a best one day picnic place where you can enjoy full day in Gardern with swimming pool access and seeing the big bigger and bigger crocodiles which are rarely seen at any other place Here you can also take your own food which is allowed to eat inside and enjoy the park Also there is also pythons snake park where you can touch that big pythons and take photos
Wonderful place to experience Crocodiles of all shapes & sizes, they have 1000+. A few snakes too. Good food & drinks available including Croc burgers! Our daughter enjoyed the playground and small pool with local school children on a visit. Shootout to Henry who explained more and showed us the big Crocs feeding on chickens! Good way to spend 2-3hrs in Lusaka
Had an amazing experience. Got a chance to see live crocodiles of different age groups and conquered my fear of seeing snakes face to face because they have big snakes to see too. Apart from live crocodiles they even stock crocodiles products from food to belts and more.
This place is absolutely amazing. Take your swimsuit, fishing rods, a picnic, and lay under the large shady trees. There is a child's play ground available with swings. The pool areas are stunning with huge palm trees. There is a resturant to buy food (my son tired the world famous crocodile burger) and a souvenir shop (got myself some crocodile oil soap). I see you can stop by the entrance to purchase crocodile meat to cook at home (without paying for entrance). Large variety of snakes, and they are well cared for and active. The crocs are magnificent and there is this one that is a MONSTER! You'll never see a croc as big as him. Wish I had taken the fishing rod, as they have ponds specified for fishing. There is a large amount of mature trees, with signs telling you what they are. Flowers in winter? This is definitely the place. Fun day out for the kids. Would definitely recommend. The only downside to the park is there is rubbish thrown into the main crocodile pond. I saw alcohol cans and empty water bottles etc. I guess who is going to go in that large pond area to clean up rubbish, with over 20 crocodiles? Can't blame them, but possibly restrict people with food and drink from that area to avoid people throwing rubbish over the side. It's sad to see a crocodile laying next to rubbish. One star lost because of this factor. Regardless, definitely a complete day out with many activities all in one spot.
Great experience, well worth a visit! Staff were friendly and told us a lot about the various animals they have. One thing I really liked, was the signs included the local language names of the animals. We also had some crocodile snags (sausages) and they were great!
Was very interesting to see the enormous Nile Crocodiles. They have a lot there. You could also hold a snake which was interesting. They have a tiny souvenir shop with a few interesting things. You can also buy crocodile meat and leather. I had the crocodil kebab which was very flavourful and cost K145. I enjoyed the afternoon there. There were some trash with the crocodiles which was sad to see.
Good 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 but K100 is not worth fir entry fee is to wrong i seriously suggest you don't waste money because only some crocodile and some snake that's it
I had a great time at Kalimba Reptile Park. The staff are amazing. They showed us around and answered all our questions (shout out to Mr Chingwere 😆). I am dead scared of snakes and crocodiles but they made me feel comfortable and secure. I did not get to touch the Snake like everyone else did 😂😂😂 but I did hold the tortoise and the lil baby crocodile 🤣. I had a hard time getting the courage to hold the croc, but I did eventually ☺️ (ps, they're sooo cute omgggg 😆😆). The tortoise was easy to hold because, it's a tortoise 🤣🤣 it hid in it's shell. It wasn't as scary ☺️. The food!!! You should definitely try out the crocodile burger (it was my first time). It was delicious, I can't recommend it enough!! Try it, try it, try it!! You won't regret it!! Overall,it's a nice place to chill and just unwind around reptiles, lol. The stories behind each reptile are rich, detailed and interesting!

Favourite mall with so many hidden gems! I love it! Lifestyle gym and Game Zone are my favs for keeping active. Shoprite that’s at the back, has the best salads and fresh food! Posh Couture for shopping and of course, my favourite salon the whole Lusaka Beauty Gardens Lounge 💅♥️
As the largest and most iconic shopping destination in Lusaka, this flagship mall effortlessly blends elegance with grandeur. By day, it buzzes with life, offering a rich array of shops, restaurants, and lifestyle experiences that cater to every taste. By night, while much of the mall rests, the energy lingers on as vibrant nightlife spots like Chicago’s Reloaded and Dacapo continue to draw crowds. Renowned for its modern design and exceptional security, the mall also boasts ample parking, making it both convenient and safe for visitors. A symbol of luxury in Zambia’s retail scene, it features a prominent presence of African brands, reflecting a regional blend of style and commerce. Like many malls across the country, it follows the familiar formula, anchored by staples such as Shoprite, yet it stands apart through its scale, quality, and dynamic atmosphere.
So impressed coming here today. Toilets were clean and I was able to feel like I could stay. Someone told me to keep the receipt! He’s a proper gem for this place- it’s nice to see someone with active (not dormant) common sense!! His name is Nick (I asked!)! Thank you for making my experience really lovely. I look forward to coming back.
Has quite a number of stores though I would have loved a site to help navigate the mall
An amazing and fun place to shop, dine, recreate and relax. Ease of navigation, however, only comes with repeated visits and maybe getting lost a few times. Regardless, if you want to enjoy a no frills mall experience, this is certainly a place worth exploring.
A large variety of stores to shop at. Food courts, restaurants, Hooka, $ xchange, cigars, vape.

It's the great place
Don't go alone. Cheap entry fee of K25 but the place is finished. Only two lions, lots of monkeys and lazy, dead looking crocs
This is the opposite of a wildlife sanctuary. Would recommend you never go there. There’s very few animals and zero information about them, with the animals being kept in terrible conditions: in the pictures you can see the pool of some lizards full of plastic everywhere and the only lion they have, kept on a very small cage. The guide had zero information to add, she was basically just indicating us the way. The extra facilities are not operational: the bar, the restaurant, the pool, the slide. The government should close this place immediately.
The place needs more funding for maintenance. My 6 and 2 year olds however, loved loved the place... It was good family time... There were some swings, and a struggling jumping castle... we were not sure about the pool so we didn't swim... but the pool was open and there were some kids swimming.
The place is ideal for picnics and is absolutely calm and peace, I'm giving three stars because the toilets are not good at all. The animal viewing is great though the tour guide is not as exciting. Otherwise I'll be going there all the time
I've never been disappointed before my entire life, I expected to park but to my surprise the place is poorly or literally maintained Its ugly and am never going to visit that place again I wouldnt recommend it at all..
Enjoyed our day. Recommended for residents not really for tourist. Play park needs renovation. Lovely places to picknock. Fun for kids especially if you have been in Zambia for awhile. Structures need rehabilitation but I was happy to see a good number of animals. For the price it was definitely worth it.
Nice place to visit. Can go with friends and family Lot of animals are there even lion 🐅 zebra, Empala, crocodiles, duck, monkey, baboons, donkey's and many more the park was good swimming pool also there.. Over all nice places to go on weekend. A bit crowded.. I enjoyed a lot but that walk inside the park make me tired 😅 Not very far from Town 50 Kwacha entrance fee for foreigner ppl 30 Kwacha for local ppl

This vast park with wildlife from rhinos to giraffes offers walking safaris, bike trails & camping.
Slide 1 of 8
Great spot for cycling with a nice dirt track and peaceful surroundings. You’ll see antelopes, giraffes, and sometimes rhinos. The rangers are very helpful—yesterday one even rescued us in his Land Cruiser when a bike chain broke. Always a great experience!
Quickly growing into a wilderness within Lusaka City! School will benefit a great with day trips. Game Rangers International, together with the David Shepherd Foundation, also have an elephant orphanage within the vicinity.
Not a prime location to see animals in the wild. The elephant orphanage was very worthwhile though. The National Park died have a couple of rhinos that are tracked by a team of rangers 24/7, so you will see those, but we didn't see much of anything else.
An expected get away from urban Lusaka and worth the trip to see the two white rhino's and a buffalo amongst other animals. There's now also an elephant orphanage/sanctuary if you go before 11am.
Lusaka National Park, located approximately 30 km south‑east of Lusaka, is Zambia’s newest national park. ‎ ‎Although formally gazetted in 2011, it opened to the public in June 2015, becoming the 20th national park and only the second situated in an urban environment after Mosi‑oa‑Tunya in Livingstone ‎ ‎It offers a well‑designed, easily accessible wildlife experience on the outskirts of the capital. Ideal for a relaxed half‑day or full‑day trip.
Awesome experience, got to see elephants, white rhino, zebra and buck.
Cheap and amazing experience. I had a private safari adventure which was utterly worth it! They take great care of the animals there and there is just so much to see.
Lusaka National Park needs to be restocked otherwise the place is nice but animals are few

Finally visited 37d art gallery, I drove past it many times but never got the chance until very recently. Beautiful art gallery, i feel like buying it all! There’s also a nice cafe with great coffee and brunch menu. There’s also a jewellery store located at the same premises; Jagoda. I’ll definitely be a regular here.
best gallery in lusaka. such a lovely place to see local artist work displayed. staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. owen at the front desk was especially great to chat with about the artists and upcoming shows. this is a can’t miss spot. ambiance is 10/10.
My cousin recommended the cappuccino and he was not wrong. It was frothy, smooth and delicious. I also had the bacon quiche and it was also delicious. A really lovely and relaxed space with beautiful art you can purchase. Some people optt to work here on their laptops. But for me this was purely a relaxing visit, I didn't feel like taking out my laptop. The staff are lovely, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. O would definitely recommend a visit to this beautiful gallery/ cafe. The Rock Cafe is the cafe name on sight. There is also a small area selling beautiful items like copper bowls, ear rings, and other ornaments for the home.
We weren’t sure what to expect when we walked into the gallery, but we were genuinely blown away. It’s beautiful and inviting with a spacious cafe, and the art on display was not only beautiful but deeply moving. There’s a nice mix of styles, so there’s something for everyone, and we found ourselves getting lost in a few pieces longer than expected. The staff were friendly and happy to chat without being pushy, which made the whole experience feel even more relaxed. Honestly, it was a really refreshing way to spend an afternoon, I’d definitely recommend it.
37 d Gallery is tranquil and inspiring. A classy gallery to visit in Lusaka.
The place was spectacular, especially if you are someone who appreciates some fine art. My problem was definitely with the staff. They were extremely cold, uncaring, and unwelcoming as though our prescence was bothering them. The food is also way overpriced if you compare it to other places offering the same things. But if you don't mind the staff you will have a good time. My biggest disappointment was being unable to take pictures of the art.
Great brunch spot with lots of beautiful artworks to add to the ambience. Easy to locate in Kabulonga and nice quiet space with multiple sitting options. Not only can you grab a quick bite to eat you could also purchase some art and/or jewelry on the same premises. Service was great, little slow but very courteous and helpful. Tried the Thai Chicken Wrap and Pulled Pork wrap, the Pulled Pork Wrap was excellent. Certainly going back. The parking is on the outside only, but seems fairly safe.
Very cool, Accessible space, broken up well. Actual art was great. I understand the prices reflect a living wage for artists and not solely gallery rates.

Facilities are good, but just know that if you ain't a Muslim you will be treated like an outcast. They have Madras classes offered, but "some" children are beaten for petty reasons. Guess its only good if you are of color
Beautiful masjid with madrasa for kids to get their islamic education.
No women’s section, did not even let me stand inside the parking lot area while I figured out where to go before heading to the airport. Beware!
Very nice masjid for muslim in lusaka

Beautiful artwork from Zambia and all over Africa. This private art collection is housed on a farm gallery whose grounds are rustic but beautifully maintained. Our guide was knowledgeable of all the forms of art and gave great background information on the depictions in the paintings by mostly local (Zambian) artists. Would recommend it to anyone who loves art. But the displays will definite be interesting for anyone. Good for groups and family.
Its a good place for the couples especially for those who are planning for valentines it can be a very meaningful day because it's quite and beautiful views around.

Very beautiful place and clean. Perfect place to take wedding👰💍🤵💒 photos. They have amazing beautiful Halls and conference rooms if you looking into having an event or exhibition. Looking forward to going again. And they had some animals like 🦓zebras moving around, what a beautiful sight.
It was a great experience being part of the season and the place was great the atmosphere was so welcoming
This is a great and comfortable place for meetings, conferences, weddings and all other events... We attended a wedding here and a banquet We really enjoyed the place and I recommend it to anyone for your special functions or events.
If u looking for large numbers meeting or small group it’s the place to go, enjoy the variety of foods and beautiful scenery of which includes wildlife walking around.
The first thing I noticed was the spaciousness of the main auditorium, which can comfortably accommodate a large audience without feeling overcrowded. The seating arrangement ensures clear visibility of the stage, and the sound and lighting systems are of a high standard, allowing presentations and speeches to be delivered with clarity. For smaller workshops and side sessions, the breakout rooms are equally well thought out, providing a professional environment for focused discussions. I appreciated the attention to detail in how events are managed. Security, protocol, and technical support were handled smoothly, giving the entire programme a sense of order and professionalism. The staff were courteous and efficient, always ready to assist delegates, which added to the overall positive atmosphere. Another strength of the centre is its location. It is close to major hotels, government offices, and other key institutions, making it easy for participants to move between meetings and accommodations. Parking facilities are ample, which further reduces the usual challenges of attending large events in a busy city. In all, the Mulungushi International Conference Centre combines history, functionality, and modern conferencing needs. It delivers a reliable and memorable experience, making it an excellent venue for both local and international events.
Mulungushi International Conference Centre is truly a landmark in Lusaka. The building itself is stunning a blend of modern design and timeless elegance that makes every visit memorable. Its architecture and interior spaces are not only beautiful but also well thought out for hosting large conferences and events. The atmosphere feels professional yet welcoming, with spacious halls, clean facilities, and great attention to detail. Definitely one of the most impressive and beautiful venues in Zambia.
Nice place with plenty of conference rooms well equipped.
The new Kenneth Kaunda wing is absolutely stunning. From the side auditoriums to the main hall, beautiful place. I just hope they will maintain the place. Although the main (Kenneth Kaunda Wing) building could use some indoor bins, as there are few at the entrance. The environment outside is clean and well maintained. The old MICC is still standing, although the place could use some renovations here and there. Otherwise good place, I'd highly recommend for conferences and meetings.

This is definitely worth a visit - there is so much beautiful artwork in the gallery. The team also showed us around the studio area where extremely talented artists are hard at work.
I'm a visual artist based on the Copper belt I was attending the FNB bank art competition award ceremony. The theme is celebrating Zambia @ 60 Henry Tayali art gallery houses Zambian contemporary visual artists and art pieces such as sculptures and paintings. Visit the gallery and get more Zambian authentic art history and buy artworks that are on sale. My art work is up for sale see the first three pics, that's my art work.
Always a pleasure visiting this space; the staff are knowledgeable and helpful. I must say though that it's looking a little "tired"; a coat of paint and some attention to the ceiling boards in the main gallery would go a long way. The space at the back (through the gallery) is a lovely (new?) addition. Thank you
The gallery has thought provoking pieces and is well maintained. I wish there was more.
Henry Tayali Gallery houses Art work from Sculptures, paintings and drawings from local artists based in Zambia. It's one of the places that allow you to know more of the history and development of the Zambian Art scene.
Attended the Roots Afrika event and it was amazing.
Beautiful gallery named after a well esteemed artist. They from time to time host talks to empower artists. It also houses the Visual Art Counsel (VAC) in Lusaka. I must visit
The gallery is always stocked with local pieces. The staff is pretty friendly too. Evey lover of the arts deserves to gratify themselves with the paintings exbhited so often.

The Freedom Statue is a worthy visit if you are in Zambia. Being that it’s located right near the National Museum I’d suggest making it part of a half-day trip. There are local buses that drop you off right in front of the statue and it’s also very near to the long-distance bus terminal so you could drop by the Statue on your way out of town to Vic Falls or anywhere else your traveling. Symbols of freedom in any country should be acknowledged in my opinion. So it was a nice pause to recognize that symbol in Zambia.
The best restaurant in lusaka this is number one They have a good service, delicious food and nice views I like this place Mashallah they have halal food Part of the secret of a success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.
A clean and soothing place to be. We all need some air once in a while and to remember our African culture.
It is a good area near the government complex in Lusaka and the Lusaka national museum.
Great spot and easy to access. The washing machine repair we did there well very well.
Found the statue a little disappointing. Apart from the fact that it is not really accessible, there is no real explanation of what it is about. The significance is consequently lost on people that don't already know its origin. Everything seems to be run down a little, and could need some TLC.
It was really a wonderful experience, I loved every moment of it❤️
Reminds the people of Zambia of the freedom fighters and what great efforts they put into attaining the independent stature the country holds. This is represented by the strong man who breaks loose of the chains that bound him. By doing so, it reminds the citizens that they ought to with hard and not bring them to shame. Many Zambians like to look at the statue for encouragement.
