General Information about Lusaka

Lusaka is the capital and largest city of Zambia in Africa and is situated almost in the centre of the nation, between the Lower Zambezi National Park and the Zambezi River. Lusaka was primarily established by British settlers in 1905 when the railway was constructed. Lusaka became the capital city of Northern Rhodesia, a British colony in 1935 due to it's central location. Lusaka was named capital of Zambia after the nation gained independence in 1964. Today the city has a population of almost 1.1 million people and is one of the fastest growing cities in Africa.
