All my posts submitted today are actually from Victoria Falls town of Zimbambwe.
After my drinking sprees in Lusaka and Livingstone, i realised that Zambia is one hell of an expesnsive country. So a caveat emptor at this point to any travellor to this beautiful country will suffice. Beers cost ZK8000 to ZK20000. A pack of Cigarettes cost ZK13000.
Remember there are no BAT brands this side of the world. So i had to do with Dunhill. Food cost ZK25000 - 35000. They serve Nshima (ugali) and a range of game meat (Buffallo, Warthog, zebra, Tigerfish) and a host of vegetables. i found Okra ( i'm not sure if thats the correct spelling) to be quite a pontent syrup. Its made vegetables and tastes like code liver oil...or pehaps worse.
Lusaka has two serious shopping malls. Manda Hill mall is like Sarit Centre in Nairobi. They also got Arcades shopping area which looks like Nakumatt Nyali, only that its a department store.
Lusaka also has a vibrant night life. I never expected girls in Zambia to be that good looking or that fashionable. While in Livingstone i hanged out at "The Rite" bar and grill. A decent place but very small in size. Taxi fares within Lusaka cost ZK 25000 while in Livingstone they go for ZK 10000. A bus ride from Lusaka to Livingstone Costs ZK120000. I suspect i burnt USD 300 within Zambian borders and this was modest me.
