Natwange Backpackers is awesome! It's small, fun, clean and homely and offers winning free extras like: unlimited WiFi, full breakfast, swimming pool and more. We have the best location, just a few minute's walk from East Park mall, Arcades and Manda Hill Mall. Rooms are extra comfortable And vary from budget dormitories, Private double/twins and en-suite rooms. If you are tired of all the other noisy and crowded backpackers, come to visit with us and have an unforgettable stay in Lusaka.

Really enjoyed having my group stay here. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We felt very safe in the backpackers and the rooms were very clean. Showers and toilet facilities were very good indeed and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending people to stay here. The breakfast was good and the other meal selections were lovely. Hopefully the kitchen could be stocked with more utensils in future otherwise fantastic!

I would say that this place is very calm and quiet, for the person who wants a personalise service, i would recommend Natwange Backpackers. But, very important, is for you to communicate with the host, for example if you want to have break fast (Whats your preferences), at what time? and other details like that. Otherwise its a nice place, near the two biggest shopping center, Mandahill and Arcades/East park mall you will be better off sistuated to make good choices when doing shopping.

Having stayed at many Branded hotels in Lusaka....this place is by far the best value for the money! Its a family run boutique hotel, where the owners and staff are super friendly and always around to answer questions or or help with any needs. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, with little touches that make it seem as if your staying at a home rather than a hotel.
Lush wide open spaces inside will make you feel like your in the country not the city.

Comfortable, basic backpackers close to mall, but everything feels like it peaked 5 years ago and is now purely an income source. No maps of Zambia/Lusaka/Africa or suggestions for activities, limited breakfast spread, and staff who are courteous but always needed to be asked twice. The owners’ 3 year old son is adorable - but a constant presence so stay here if you like/don’t mind small children. I bought a carved giraffe which he repeatedly said he wanted. His auntie brought him over to hold it and I had to plead with her to not get his hopes up as it was a present for a friend. The place is safe and in a good neighborhood, and would benefit from bike hire, better WiFi, more seating for guests or fruit at Breakfast.

We booked this for one night between flights in and out of Lusaka. We had asked for airport transfers which the owner forgot about so we waited for over an hour at the airport. The accommodation is very budget friendly but some windows did not close properly which made us feel unsafe. The location is a little tricky as we did not feel confortable walking around to get dinner at night time

Great place to stay out of the hectic whirl of Lusaka. Nice pool, wonderful people at the front desk. Great food with capable cooks. And the atmosphere is diverse: US Peace Corps volunteers and UN workers, visiting Ugandans environment activists.

Nice backpackers, ideal for families with young kids. Our son loved the rabbits and the swimming pool. Good location and close to main city centre. We would stay here again There was not much on offer for breakfast and the billing was a bit confusing.
