My partner and I and a couple friends had a tour of the gallery and workspaces by the lovely Yandey. I was really impressed by the cultural teachings about marriage that were depicted and expressed through the artwork, as well as the amazing projects that are being done with the children in the community. There are plenty of gorgeous pieces of art, crafts and books to look at and purchase. What a wonderful family of artists!

My fiancé and I ended up in Lusaka with a few days to be tourists. We found 37D on trip advisor and figured we would spend 30 minutes there. 2 hours into our visit, we were already planning our next trip back! To start with, the staff here are all welcoming and friendly. The various forms of artwork are all presented with the title, artist, and price in US dollars. It is in a modern building with indoor and outdoor spaces. There is even a section with children’s artwork and all of the proceeds go directly to the children and the program that works to provide children with art classes, which in turn helps children to pay school fees. Next to the art gallery is a gem gallery. We had the pleasure of talking with the owner who showed us the largest mined tourmaline and explained to us how jewelry is made from the wide selection of Zambian-mined gems. Then we found ourselves in the cafe, where we each had a coffee and a treat (banana bread and a chocolate cookie). Here we were able to casually look through the gift store and chose a lovely pair of earrings. It was hard to chose just one gift item as everything is so lovely and supports Zambian businesses that employ local people. We will definitely be back on this same short visit because they even have yoga a few days a week for k100 which takes place in a gorgeous outdoor area.

I love markets! It's my favourite thing to do on my travels so hitting this market was exciting for me. There is so much to see & much to get. A lot of the stalls have similar items so you need to exhaust the parking lot & walk extensively comparing prices & negotiating the right prices for your finds. They have African jewellery, rare stones, pillows, fabric, wooden house deco pieces, woven baskets, paintings, you name it! It's a cash only environment - naturally - so you need to budget accordingly & get the best deals. You can easily spend up to K2000 if you go around the entire market picking up things but it's wise to make a note of exactly what you want to buy to avoid spontaneous purchses of all the amazing things you will see there. This market is actually cheaper than Kabwata Cultural Village which I also visited on the same day & found that their prices are extremely exorbitant. As a visitor, always be careful to shop around & compare prices before buying anything cause vendors often triple their prices for tourists. You must be firm & brave enough to question some of the prices when you're shopping. I found more variety & value in this market versus Kabwata Cultural Village.

We were so impressed with artists and their work. We watched them creating beautiful images on fabric, then visited the several shops. They keep a good selection on hand of pieces here. You can find some things at Mfuwe Lodge and local airport also. Strongly advise you to stop and look. You will not be disappointed.
10. Mulberry Mongoose
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 25 reviews
We hand craft exceptional jewellery & accessories inspired by the African bush whilst investing in conservation & the unique South Luangwa, Zambia. Our most celebrated range turns snare wire, found during essential anti snare patrols carried out to conserve our iconic wildlife, into jewellery & gives donations back to fund more patrols with every piece of jewellery sold.

Mulberry Mongoose is a lovely jewellery shop making unique and beautiful pieces. The women who work there are friendly and knowledgeable and make you feel very welcome to look around. My favourite collection was their snare wire collection, in which all of the pieces have been made from snare wires found in poaching traps in the local environment and 5% of the profits are donated to anti-poaching groups. I bought a bracelet from this collection that will always remind me of my time in South Luangwa and I'm tempted to buy more from their website. Although much pricier than other souvenirs, it's worth every penny. If you are doing a safari in this area, don't miss out on a trip to Mulberry Mongoose
