ZAMBIA | PARADISE FOUND
PARADISE FOUND [ WRITER: Ngosa Chungu ] [ PHOTO: Le Elementos Hotel ] There is nothing more luxurious than having options. That is what Manthis offerings in Zambia provide - different experiences that ultimately deliver the same promise because they take advantage of their unique settings to create unforgettable getaway experiences - in tune with their environment and specific to the traveller in mind.

Tucked away off one of the main feeder roads in the capital, resides this oasis for the city dweller to take a much needed staycation, a multifunctional space for events and business needs, or a conveniently positioned home away from home for the business traveller. The earthy tones of the building material, the vibrant colour palette of the decor, the use of natural light through open plan spaces and skylights, as well as the beautifully landscaped deck, create a relaxing feeling of serenity.
