Welcome to Lukulu!
Lukulu is in the Western Province of Zambia, on the Zambezi River, and the headquarters of a district of the same name. Access to the town is limited to only a few graded roads with traffic running through it from Kaoma town to Watopa town. Fish from the river provides most of the local diet, and some are exported to other parts of Zambia away from the river. The town has a very beautiful Zambezi River waterfront and sandy beaches. The locals call it the Home of plenty. The town has mango trees that grow naturally, all over turning the sandy beaches green. Lukulu is an emerging town with electricity and water. You will find modern lodges with air-conditioned rooms equal to those in Lusaka but at a very low cost. The people are humble and friendly while the sound of makes drums pulsates in the air during the day and at night time. For those seeking adventure visiting this quiet bubbling, the town that is best done after the rains end in April to November. There is a modern hospital, and both primary and high schools with some established by the original missionaries, which have birthed many important Zambians.
