Living in New Kasama

New Kasama sits down Leopards Hill Road, southeast of Lusaka, and offers a spacious, quiet setting with some of the most undisturbed views in the city. Large residential and commercial plots are the norm here, and the area is popular with diplomats, expatriates, and prominent figures who want space and privacy without moving too far from the rest of the city.

The suburb is home to the American International School of Lusaka (AISL), widely regarded as one of Lusaka's most prestigious schools, along with Crested Crane Academy, Lake Road PTA School, and a satellite campus of Musikili Primary School. New Kasama also hosts a campus of the University of Lusaka (UNILUS), which has increased demand for student housing in the surrounding area.

New Kasama is about 22 kilometres from Lusaka's Central Business District and just under 25 kilometres from Kenneth Kaunda International Airport, roughly a 40-minute drive. As a still-developing suburb, infrastructure in some pockets is less established than in Lusaka's older neighbourhoods, though new roads and services continue to be added.

Shopping options include Leopards Hill Mall, Aquarius Lifestyle Centre, The Village, and Crossroads Shopping Centre, while the Leopards Hill Polocrosse Club, Monkey Pools, Leopards Hill Motor Park, and Kwisoko Game Ranch cover most of the area's recreation, alongside restaurants such as The Villagers and Sugarbush Café.
