Chilenje House 394, National Independence Memorial in Chilenje, Lusaka, Zambia
The residential complex contains three houses, with House 394 displaying original furniture and personal items from the Kaunda family residence period.
Kenneth Kaunda directed the campaign for Zambian independence from this two-bedroom house between January 1960 and December 1962, before becoming president.
The National Heritage Conservation Commission maintains the property as a testament to Zambia's path toward self-governance and political determination.
Visitors can explore the memorial site from 10:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 17:00 every day except Monday afternoons and Tuesdays.
The restoration project returned the buildings to their 1962 state, removing later modifications to preserve their historical authenticity.
