Floriana Lodge
(9 rooms) PO Box 183, Solwezi; tel: 08 821130 This lodge is named after an Italian nun and missionary who spent much of her life working in Zambia before tragically being shot dead by bandits. The Floriana boasts nine rooms, divided into six doubles, two singles and one VIP room, with TV, telephones and tea/coffee promised in each in the near future, and hopefully by the time you read this. The rates include a full English breakfast served in their restaurant, in which they conjure up Chinese, Indian, English and Zambian dishes, with the local dish of Solwezi beans, kingovwa sweet potatoes, honey and mushroom – all sourced locally – a speciality.
