Frequently Asked Questions
Is Kasama District a worthwhile golf destination, considering it only has one course?
Absolutely, if you're looking for an authentic, off-the-beaten-path experience. We found the single course in Kasama offers a unique glimpse into Zambian golf, far removed from resort crowds. It's less about a multi-course itinerary and more about immersing yourself in a local golfing adventure.
When is the best time to visit Kasama for golf, and what should I expect from the weather?
We highly recommend visiting during the dry season, from May to October, when the weather is cooler and the course conditions are at their best. Expect warm, sunny days perfect for a round, but always pack a hat and sunscreen as the African sun can be intense. The greens will be firmer, offering a different challenge than you might be used to.
What kind of golf experience does the Kasama course offer, and what are its unique highlights?
You'll find a charming, unpretentious course that truly reflects its local setting. Don't expect manicured championship conditions; instead, embrace the natural terrain and the friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The real highlight for us was the genuine interaction with local golfers and the unexpected views of the Zambian landscape.
Beyond the golf course, what else can I do or see in the Kasama District to make my trip complete?
While golf is your primary draw, we strongly recommend exploring the stunning Chishimba Falls, just a short drive away-it's a truly impressive natural wonder. You could also visit the Moto Moto Museum to delve into local history and culture, making your visit a rich blend of sport and discovery.
What are the practicalities of getting to Kasama and playing a round-are there any specific costs or tips?
Getting to Kasama usually involves flying into Ndola or Lusaka and then taking a domestic flight or a long-distance bus-it's an adventure in itself. Green fees are incredibly reasonable, often paid directly at the course, and we suggest bringing cash for caddies and any local refreshments. Always confirm tee times in advance, as facilities can be more informal.
