Embassy history

The Chancery and Ambassador’s Residence

The Chancery in Lusaka is situated on Katima Mulilo Road and houses all of the Embassy’s functions.

At the time the Embassy was officially opened in 1980, the Embassy offices were in the main business town of Lusaka, along Freedom Way and the first Chargé de Affaires was Mr Donal Denham. It was only later in 1982 that then-Chargé d’Affaires, Mr Denham decided to move the Embassy Office’s to its current location.

The Ambassador's Official Residence is located in Longacres, on Los Angeles Boulevard, Plot 4901.

Note that the Mission was granted the full Embassy status in 2006 hence, prior to that, all Heads of Missions are referred to as Chargé d’Affaires.
