Dag Hammarskjoeld Memorial

Reviewed By abbytemfwe - Ndola, Zambia

Just outside of Ndola, this is a great experience to learn about history right here. The tour guide was terrific, very well informed, passionate and articulated the information wonderfully. I lived here for 3.5 years without experiencing it and now that I have I’d definitely recommend it!

Shiwa Ngandu

Reviewed By kaiviti2007

The visit to Shiwa Ngandu is highly recommended. One can stay there or in the nearby Kapishya Hot Springs Lodge (probably better for families, 19 km away). The visit certainly becomes more interesting if one has first read The Africa House from Christina Lamb to grasp better the importance of the house and its history. Visit to the graves on top of a hill is also recommended for the nature and views of the nearby lake.
