Getting Around
How to get to and from Kenneth Kaunda International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.
Transport Options at LUN
Kenneth Kaunda International Airport is connected to Lusaka and the wider Zambia transport network by multiple ground transport options.
The official airport taxi rank quotes a fixed rate of roughly ZMW 400–700 (about $16–28) for the 30–45 minute trip into central Lusaka; most drivers don't use meters, so agree the fare before starting.
Uber doesn't serve the airport; Yango and the local Ulendo app are the practical ride-hailing options and are reported to run 50–70% cheaper than the airport taxi rank, roughly ZMW 150–300.
No car rental desks are documented at the terminal; arrange a rental through a city-based agency or your hotel instead.
Agree your fare in writing (or screenshot the agreed price in the ride-hail app) before you get in — fake 'airport tax' surcharges aren't real, so don't pay one if an unofficial driver tries to add it.
