Our cultural journey continues at Maramba Market. If you savor the experience of tasting local delicacies, you are in for a treat! Together, we will meander through the stalls, which offer a diverse selection of products, spices, and dishes integral to Zambian cuisine.
Our adventure will conclude with a visit to the Railway Museum, where we will delve into the extensive railway history of Zambia. You will have the chance to admire locomotives, carriages, and tracks that vividly illustrate the colonial era. Prepare to be enthralled!
