Blending contemporary Africa with a touch of the cosmopolitan, Latitude 15 is a social and stylish hub operating as both hotel and private members club. With its chilled atmosphere, eclectic décor and lively bars and lounges, Latitude 15 is a hip spot to settle in before or after a safari.
Location
The hotel sits on a tree-lined avenue in the Kabulanga suburb on Lusaka’s southeast corner. It’s just 20 minutes from the attractions of the city centre and Crossroads Shopping Mall is just a 5-minute walk away.
Rooms
There are 32 en-suite rooms and three two-bedroom suites at the hotel. With natural sunlight streaming through the windows, the rooms are very stylish with eclectic modern furniture, sumptuous beds and bespoke artwork lining the walls. Beds are covered in faux-fur throws and there are Nespresso machines, flat-screen tv’s and colourful velvet sofas or chairs to make for a comfortable den.
Communal Areas
The hotel is decorated in a quirky, modern style with sociability at its heart. It’s trendy yet casual with upcycled eclectic furniture, locally made artworks and textiles and plenty of spaces to lounge, work or dine. The Latitude 15 restaurant offers dishes from around the world set out on rustic wooden tables. Guests can also dine al fresco on the pool terrace with views of the gardens. The hotel also operates as a private members club called The Other Side, offering guests an informal separate drinking, dining and networking space equipped with a gym, spa and a set of contemporary workspaces.
Activities
Although the hotel itself enjoys live music, club nights and brilliant cuisine, Lusaka city centre is just 20 minutes away. For art lovers, the Henry Tayali and Nomwande showcase contemporary artworks and sculptures while shoppers can while away the hours at the Crosswords, Kabulonga and Woodlands Malls. Take political tours of the High Court and State House and visit the Freedom Statue and Leopard Hills Memorial Park. Day trips can be arranged to Kalimba Reptile Park and Munda Wanga Wildlife Park & Sanctuary for those craving nature. For pampering, head to the spa at The Other Side for a mixture of Indian, Balinese, Zambian and Swedish-style treatments.

WET SEASON – ‘EMERALD SEASON’
The wettest time of the year, with rain falling most days of the month, although rarely prolonged in nature. During this period parks transform into a lush green landscape, a stark contrast to the dry season.
Zambia has very distinct wet and dry seasons; rain is common, usually in the form of sharp thunderstorms from November through to early May, the rest of the year clear skies dominate. As Zambia is predominately a safari destination we would generally recommend visiting during the peak of the dry season; as the landscape dries up wildlife becomes more concentrated around the rivers and watercourses while at the same time thinner/ drier vegetation improves visibility.
Having said this, there is a lot to be said for the ‘emerald season’; beautiful green scenery, fantastic birding, large flowing rivers and fewer tourists can make for a wonderful and unique experience.
There are also two significant exceptions to the above rule of thumb; Liuwa Plain National Park which conversely tends to offer the best safari experiences during the wet season and Kasanka National Park where the arrival of around 10 million fruit bats also corresponds to the start of the rains.
One more consideration is Victoria Falls and the annual flow of the Zambezi River. Generally, the falls are at their most spectacular from February through to July, while November marks the falls at their lowest. Even at lowest water levels the Falls are still a sight to behold, the lower water levels also make for ideal white water rafting as well as allow access to the famous Devil’s Pool.

April can be a real gem of a month to visit if you are not necessarily looking for that classic safari – this is the best month of the emerald season. Temperatures are pleasant, and the rains are beginning to ease.

Game viewing can be spectacular during October; however, temperatures continue to rise before the start of the rains, with midday temperatures over 40°C/104°F not uncommon. We suggest early morning starts during this time to make the most of the more pleasant temperatures!
