Eight Reedbuck Hotel

Anonymously sited in Lusaka's residential suburb of Kabulonga, number 8 Reedbuck Road seems like any other house on the road. However, inside Eight Reedbuck, its individual and flexible approach allows it to claim the title of Lusaka's first boutique hotel – even if a few of its Zambian fixtures will make disciples of Scandinavian design wince.

Our view of Eight Reedbuck Hotel

We think of Eight Reedbuck as one of the best options for our travellers who overnight in Lusaka. It's décor is quirky and slightly ad hoc, and you shouldn't expect Michellin-starred food, but it is an interesting, authentic and very Zambian place to stay – and has so much more character than the more anonymous big hotels.
