This is a nice place for the money in Lusaka. The only beef I had was their poor communication with us regarding the size of rooms we needed. They set us up on the pool deck, and fortunately we had good weather.

My spot

Wayne, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Well managed "Old School" hotel.

Well managed with very good food. I appreciated the transparency of Ross, the manager on the times when the generator needed servicing. It is a very challenging time for Zambia but the hotel is still functioning well.

Daphine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Southern Sun Ridgeway is beautiful. I’ve been going there for many years. It’s now all been remodeled and updated, which it needed. Sadly, due to Covid, many of the old familiar faces are no longer to be seen. And it seems to me like some of the new staff, at least in dining for example, don’t get “service” as well as they should. But the food is fine and my housekeeper kept my room spotless during my five night stay. It’s quiet and peaceful. I very much recommend it.
