Back to earth with a bump
I am sure the service was good however after Tafika we felt that the hotel did not really want to see us and we were just another 2 tourists passing through.
The evening meal was poor.....we had a steak each and returned Pam's since it was cold and we were not sure it had been cooked.
The room was average and neither Pam or I slept well.........Oh for the delights of Tafika.
the end of our holiday unfortunately!
well organised but a shock after the bush !

smart place and very typical international hotel. Indian buffet meal was fun. They need to advise visitors to Luzaka Airport that they will meet them outside the terminal, not inside with other "meet and greet" activities.
1/2 hour trip to airport is fine.
A bit unnecessarily smart for the ex-bushcamp folk who looked rather scruffy compared with the immaculate locals. One nearer and cheaper for the airport would probably do.
good stopover at taj
good hotel for one night stopover did everything it said on the tin pick up on time ,nice room ,excellent room service and food breakfast ready at five as stated transport to airport may be a touch early but people on the bus were on an earlier flight to joburg so that could be the reason
a nice rest before flight home
Taj Pamodzi Hotel review
An overly ornate gin palace dripping with wealth with poverty nextdoor. A real culture shock after a safari very inpersonal and beeter suited to business clients than tourists even if they want a bit of comfort on their final night in Zambia, suggest you consider alternatives (Anna I know you are doing)
I wanted to go back to the bush!!"!
Taj Pamodzi Hotel review
A night at the Taj Pamodzi is a very nice way to end a trip in Zambia.

Only spent barely 12 hours there; location was very convenient for the early morning return flight to the UK.
The transfer with Voyages Ndola worked well.
Taj Pamodzi Hotel review
Was here 15 years ago and the hotel has improved beyond recognition.

We only stayed 1 night here en route to our Kafue safari . It took over 2 hours to have a one course meal since the meal my wife ordered from the menu was not what was placed in front of her and we had to reorder. The staff said they did not have half the ingredients including the main one!!
Our room was very noisy throughout the night - we do not know what it was - some kind of machinery - and we found in the early hours that the toilet did not flush. All this was reported to the duty manager in the morning and he took my email address - I have still not heard from them.
On a point of safety there was a small step from the bathroom to the bedroom which we both tripped or fell over during the night - fortunately with no injury. This is an unnecessary hazard.
We were also briefed to expert a message in the hotel from Wilderness Safaris concerning our flight to Kafue. Despite asking 3 times during the evening we were there and also the following morning we heard nothing. The end result was another Wilderness shambles with us being stranded on the wrong side of Lusaka Airport as the Taj Pomodzi driver had no idea where Sefofane was and was misdirected to the wrong operator!!
Expert Africa comments
Expert Africa has passed on all these comments to the Taj Pamozi Hotel. Although we have not had a response, we hope that this has helped the hotel to rectify any problems they had.
Wilderness Safaris did contact the Taj Pamodzi Hotel regarding the morning transfer details as arranged, but it seems that this message was not passed on. To avoid similar problems in the future, Expert Africa well be using a separate company to arrange transfers between the airport and hotels in Lusaka.
Taj Pamodzi Hotel review
Clean efficient business hotel.
Arrived late and left early so not much more than a bed for the night.
As the early transfer back to airport is at 5.30am, there's no time to get breakfast so a room only rate would be better.
We have always believed that acting responsibly is the only way to approach tourism and we're one of
the few companies to hold AITO's original coveted 5-star status for responsible tourism. It's a lead
that others are now following.
