Lusaka is the capital of Zambia, with a population of about 2,212,301. It uses the Central Africa Time time zone (IANA identifier Africa/Lusaka).

Lusaka does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+2 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.

Other cities on the same clock include Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Lubumbashi, Pretoria, Khartoum.

Because Lusaka lies at 15.41° S, 28.29° E, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 11 h 13 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 13 h 03 min.
