about us

Cape Town BackpackersFollowing an overland trip across Africa a "few" years ago we decided to give up the 9-5 and start a backpackers in Zambia. After staying in loads of places on our travels we decided that we wanted our hostel to be a clean, fun place to stay where you can get great travel advice. We then started our own safaris in Zambia with the principal of "quality safaris at an affordable cost". After all whether you've paid $1000 for a hotel room or a $50 safari tent it’s the same Lion that your looking at.

Using the same principle for our hostels, quality at an affordable price, we've still got Lusaka Backpackers, and now have Johannesburg Backpackers and Cape Town Backpackers.

We hope that where ever you stay with us you have a great time, but if you don't stay with us but just want some advice please drop us a line.

Over the years we've had people say nice things about us...
