Conveniently located along the main road, yet very quiet, the place has a relaxed and easy-going atmosphere. We were lucky to get any accommodation at all, with everywhere else being booked full due to the Kulamba ceremony. This is a community centre, focused on helping the local population to improve farming and other livelihood practices, so the accommodation is not their core business. Our room was basic but adequate and there is electricity 24-7 and WiFi. The centre employs mostly unschooled local staff and therefore there are some language barriers. The restaurant uses home-grown products, including vegetables and herbs, cultivated in large baskets. You actually see where your organic vegetables are coming from, this is the most efficient and transparent farm-to-fork chain possible. In short, this place is not for the high-class luxury-loving tourist, but top notch for people who want to experience the real Zambia, characterised by rustic living style and warm hospitality, characteristic of Zambian culture.
