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.

Great Lusaka hotel
Another great stay. Staff are great and rooms are clean and comfortable. Only down side to my stay was the fact there was no draught beer! Also not great to see (or use) plastic sticks for the tea and coffee. In this day and age it’s really not what you expect. Replace with metal spoons and look at eco friendly options to replace all of the plastic, including all of the miniature toiletries

Our favorite place to stay in Lusaka. Rooms are always clean and comfortable - hot showers, great shower pressure, soft linens, great pillows, blackout curtains and fluffy towels. Staff are always welcoming and helpful from check in to check out. Breakfast is 10/10 especially the garden/pond vibe. The only suggestion is that the pool needs a little love. Definitely swimmable, but ageing a bit.

Stylish room upgrades
I have stayed at this property several times over the last 10 years and always enjoy seeing the baby crocodiles in the hotel pond. The rooms have recently had an excellent makeover with a great African safari type theme. Service is rather slow, perfunctory and unattentive at times at the restaurant and this is my only slight gripe. Full marks to the front desk staff for allowing me a late check out. I will return.
