Ku-omboka is not the only Backpackers in Lusaka, but it is deffinately the cheapest. The atmpshere is good and it is OK clean. The good thing about it is it's location and the price. The restaurant is OK too, especially for the English breakfast
Bed in Dorm is 30.000
double bedroom 100.000

Kiboko has to be the funkiest place to stay in Lilongwe. The dorms were many so the travellers get their space. The courtyard is also big and the staff is kin to help and really energetic. The place is well run on the whole and the price 850 KW is a bargain. Ok maybe the location is a minus, cause you have to walk 10 minutes to the centre and it is not always advisable

Value rating: *****

We were very pleasantly surprised by KuOmboko Hostel in Lusaka, Zambia. We book a private room doubled bed for only 24$/night (shared bathroom). The hostel is well-equipped: laundry facilities, a fun and lively bar (that brings in more locals than guests), a 24 hour internet cafe, safe and secure rooms, a flexible restaurant (they will get very creative to aid vegetarians), and most importantly -- a terrific, friendly, and helpful staff. The place feels secure and is somewhat clean (although prepare for lots of little creepy crawlers and bugs in the shared area). For the money, this is a terrific bet and one that won't "bite" too hard on your pocketbook...
