Description

Chachacha was the name given to the period of time in which the Zambian people fought for and gained their independence in 1964. It became known as the Chachacha era, and hence Chachacha Backpackers was born. We are conveniently located in the central area of Lusaka, only 15 min walk from both the bus and train station and the town centre banks, a 10 min walk from Northmead shopping centre and craft market and about a 30 min walk from most of the embassies A taxi from town to Chachacha backpackers will cost around $2.00 u.s. If your are arriving to Lusaka using one of the usual forms of transport. Eg. Bus from Livingstone or Chipata, then all the taxi drivers will know where Chachacha is located. If you were to just end up somewhere in Lusaka, then you would have to make sure that the taxi knows that we are off Bwinjimfumu Rd. and not on Cha Cha Cha rd. At the moment we have four showers with hot and cold water. The showers are cleaned twice a day, so are kept clean. Definately when we are real busy the water can run cold but if you wait about 20 min it will be hot again!! Often at night in Lusaka the council turns the water off (for some unknown reason) So if you get to the shower and there is no water just ask one of our staff and we will turn on the pump in our water reservoir and you can enjoy that hot shower that you have been dreaming about on the bus for the last 8 hours!!!! We have a very friendly bar run by our barman Nick. The bar is stocked with all the usual drinks as well as Zambia’s “MOSI” Beer, mmm delicious. The bar closes at 11pm each night and midnight on Friday and Saturday so that early starters can get a good nights sleep. In the bar we also sell great snacks, so if you arrive late and your stomach is screaming at you, don’t worry, you won’t go to bed hungry. We provide great value meals from 7.30 am through to about 8.00pm, the breakfast includes things like muesli, cornflakes, bacon and eggs, full breakfast and more. For dinner you could order anything from the breakfast and lunch menus or a delicious bar-b-que. If you happen to be a vegetarian, no problem, just ask the staff and they’ll happily prepare you a delicious meal If your budget is a little tight or you just prefer your own cooking, then no problem, we have a campers kitchen for your use. It has a small oven, hotplate, a fridge freezer, pots and pans, plates, knives, forks, etc for your use. We do provide detergent and although our staff clean the campers kitchen every morning, we hope that you would clean up after yourself so that the kitchen is clean for others. Its a good idea to remove your foodstuffs from the fridge before checking out, otherwise it will just sit there and go to waste.
