The Bar
We have a very friendly bar run by our barman Nick. The bar is stocked with all the usual drinks as well as Zambia's "MOSI" Beer, mmm delicious. The bar closes at 11pm each night and midnight on Friday and Saturday so that early starters can get a good nights sleep. In the bar we also sell great snacks, so if you arrive late and your stomach is screaming at you, don't worry, you won't go to bed hungry.

Restaurant
We provide great value meals from 7.30 am through to about 8.00pm, the breakfast includes things like muesli, cornflakes, bacon and eggs, full breakfast and more. For dinner you could order anything from the breakfast and lunch menus or a delicious bar-b-que. If you happen to be a vegetarian, no problem, just ask the staff and they'll happily prepare you a delicious meal

Campers Kitchen
If your budget is a little tight or you just prefer your own cooking, then no problem, we have a campers kitchen for your use. It has a small oven, hotplate, a fridge freezer, pots and pans, plates, knives, forks, etc for your use. We do provide detergent and although our staff clean the campers kitchen every morning, we hope that you would clean up after yourself so that the kitchen is clean for others.

Phone, Internet
We have a public card phone here at Chachacha Backpackers for your use. The phone cards can be bought at the bar for local and international calls. Be warned that phones calls in Zambia are very expensive, so you are more than welcome to give your friends our number and have them call you back.

Airport Pick-up
At Chachacha we offer an airport pick-up. After booking online with us just send your flight details and we'll be at the airport to meet you and bring you back to the Chachacha Backpackers. We charge for this service but it will make your arrival into Lusaka easy and hassle free.

Your Luggage
While you are traveling around Zambia you probably won't want to carry your backpack all over the country. So you could just take a small bag with you and leave your backpack here with us to look after. We will lock it away for you and keep it safe. This is another free service that we offer, all we ask is that you stay here for a night or two, fair enough?

Security
Here at Chachacha backpackers we understand the importance in feeling safe and secure. We have two guards 24 hours a day, we also have personal, individual security boxes constructed out of steel for your use, once again for free. You will have to supply your own lock or we can sell you one, then you are the only person in the world with a key, and they are accessible 24 hours a day.

Trips, Safaris and Info
If you want information on anything at all in Zambia, then we are the people to ask. If you want to follow the normal trail to Victoria Falls or South Luangwa national Park and are a bit unsure of how to do it, then ask us. If you want something a little more adventurous like exploring the massive Bangwelu swamps or taking a dugout canoe down the Zambezi in Western Province, then its us you should ask. If it's mobile safaris or canoeing safaris you want then we are the people to see. Or if you just want to book your bunji or white water rafting experience in Victoria falls, then we can help!!!

Lots of info on Zambia and Africa
Whether you are at home and planning your trip, or you have been in Zambia for some time, we can help you with info, if you have any questions at all after booking just drop us an E-mail and we'll do our best to answer them for you.

Ask anything at all, for instance, did you know that in Zambia you cannot use US dollars older than 1996!! And to exchange travellers cheques you will need to produce your receipt of purchase!!

Ask us, it will make your trip much easier and much more enjoyable!!

Great Atmosphere
Meet our friendly staff and let us make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We have a great atmosphere and offer a sociable and welcoming environment for our guests.
