Lusaka, Capital city in southern Zambia
Lusaka extends across a limestone plateau at 1,280 meters elevation, functioning as the governmental and commercial center of Zambia with over 3 million inhabitants.
The settlement transformed from a railway stop in 1905 into Northern Rhodesia's capital in 1935, marking the beginning of its administrative significance.
The National Museum displays collections of traditional artifacts, contemporary art, and historical exhibits that represent different periods of Zambian development.
The city connects to four main highways leading north, south, east, and west, while Kenneth Kaunda International Airport provides air transportation links.
The surrounding grasslands contain numerous termite mounds reaching heights of 6 meters, creating natural landmarks across the landscape.
