General information only​

Everything on Explore Lusaka is published for general information. It is not tailored to your circumstances, and it is not a substitute for checking directly with a venue, an operator, an embassy, or a qualified professional before you act on it.

We put real effort into getting things right, but we make no warranty — express or implied — that the content is accurate, complete, or current at the moment you read it.

​

Accuracy and how quickly things change

Lusaka moves fast. Restaurants close, opening hours shift, prices rise, roads change, and venues rebrand.

• Details on this site are correct to the best of our knowledge at the time of writing or last update.

• We are a small operation and cannot verify every listing continuously.

• Always confirm opening hours, prices, and availability directly with the venue before travelling.

​

If you spot something out of date or wrong, please tell us at explorelusaka.ltd@gmail.com — corrections are genuinely welcome and we act on them.

​

Affiliate links

Some links on Explore Lusaka are affiliate links.

This means that if you click one and go on to book or buy something, we may earn a small commission from the provider at no extra cost to you. You do not pay more for using our link than you would by going direct.

​

We currently work with affiliate programmes including Expedia.com, Booking.com and GetYourGuide, and we may add others over time.

​

A few things we want to be clear about:

• Commission does not buy a recommendation. We link to places because we think they're worth your time, not because of what they pay.

• We are not the seller. Your booking contract is with the hotel, tour operator, or booking platform — not with Explore Lusaka. Their terms, cancellation policy, and refund rules apply, and any dispute is between you and them.

• We don't control their content. Prices, availability, photographs, and descriptions on a partner's site are theirs, not ours.

 

If you'd rather not use an affiliate link, you're free to search for the provider directly. 

​

Paid listings, directory entries and advertising

Some businesses may pay to appear in our directory or to feature on the site.

• Any paid placement is clearly marked on the page as Sponsored, Paid listing, or Advertisement.

• Paying does not buy a favourable write-up, a higher rating, or editorial coverage elsewhere on the site.

• Businesses cannot pay to have criticism removed or to suppress a competitor.

• Advertisers have no advance sight of, or influence over, our editorial content.

​

"EL Recommended" and editorial independence

The EL Recommended seal is an editorial judgement. It is awarded by us, on the merits, and it is not for sale. No business can buy it, and no advertiser or affiliate partner receives it as part of a commercial arrangement.

Where a place carries both the seal and a commercial relationship with us, we say so on that listing.

Our recommendations reflect our own opinion. Taste is subjective, and yours may differ from ours.

​​

Event listings and third-party data

Event information on this site is aggregated from third-party sources, including organisers, ticketing platforms, and other listings sites.

• We do not organise, host, endorse, or sell tickets for these events.

• Dates, venues, line-ups, and prices change frequently and are often cancelled or moved at short notice.

• Always confirm with the organiser or official ticket seller before making plans or payments.

​

External links

Explore Lusaka links out to other websites. We have no control over their content, security, privacy practices, or availability, and a link is not an endorsement. Once you leave our site, their terms and privacy policies apply — not ours.

​

Not professional advice

Nothing on Explore Lusaka is professional advice. In particular:

• Immigration and visas — entry requirements, visa rules, and fees change without notice. Check with the Zambian Department of Immigration or your nearest Zambian mission/embassy before travelling.

• Health — anything we say about vaccinations, malaria, water, or medical facilities is general background, not medical advice. Speak to a doctor or a travel health clinic.

• Safety and security — conditions vary by area and over time. Consult your government's official travel advice and use your own judgement.

• Money, tax and legal matters — including anything about the Kwacha, banking, exchange, property, or setting up in Zambia. Take qualified professional advice on your own situation.

​

Prices, currency and exchange rates

Prices are indicative,  and correct only at the time of writing. Exchange rates move constantly, and any conversion we give is for rough orientation only. Currency regulations and banknote series can change — check current guidance from the Bank of Zambia and confirm prices locally.

​

Business listings are not endorsements

Inclusion of a business, venue, or service in our database does not mean we have inspected it, vetted its licences or insurance, or guarantee your experience there. We list places we believe are of interest to our readers. Your dealings with any business are entirely between you and them.

​

Images and third-party content

We use our own photography, licensed images, and images credited to their creators. If you believe your work appears here without proper permission or credit, contact us at [contact email] and we will credit or remove it promptly.

​

Reader submissions

Where readers, businesses, or contributors submit content — reviews, tips, listings, or photographs — the views expressed are the contributor's own. We moderate submissions but cannot verify every claim. We do not publish incentivised reviews without disclosing the incentive, and we remove reviews we believe to be fake or misleading.

​

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by Zambian law, Explore Lusaka accepts no liability for any loss, cost, disappointment, injury, or damage arising from your use of this site or from your reliance on any information in it, including any booking made through a link on this site. Nothing here excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
