Mpika Motel is accommodation in Mpika, Northern Lakes & Waterfalls, Zambia. We have confirmed that it exists and exactly where it stands, but not what kind of property it is, so we describe it simply as accommodation rather than guess at a category.
Best for
Drivers ending a long day on the Great North Road, and travellers staging into North Luangwa, Shiwa Ng’andu or the Bangweulu side routes.
Location
Mpika stands high on the Muchinga plateau at the point where the Great North Road swings north towards Tanzania. It is the largest town between Kapiri Mposhi and Kasama, and for most travellers it is the natural end of a long driving day.
Mpika Motel stands inside the approved Mpika catchment, at Zambia. That placement comes from establishment-level coordinates, not a town centroid, which matters here: distances are long and a property half an hour further on is a different driving day.
Rooms and style at Mpika Motel
We could not confirm the property format from a first-party source, so we do not describe the rooms at Mpika Motel. Room types, bed configuration and standards are worth confirming directly before you book.
Facilities at Mpika Motel
Public source detail on facilities here is limited, and we do not repeat operators’ own marketing lists. Parking, catering and meeting space are the things most often asked about and least often listed, so ask directly.
Trade-offs and what to know
This is a working town rather than a resort. You are close to the road, which is why it works as a stop and also why it will not feel like a destination in itself. We have verified that the property exists and where it stands, but not its category or standard.
Getting there and getting around
Mpika is on the Great North Road roughly seven hundred kilometres north-east of Lusaka, high on the Muchinga plateau, and it is where the roads to North Luangwa, Shiwa Ng’andu and the Bangweulu side routes leave the tar. Once here, a vehicle is the practical way to move around.

Before you book
Worth confirming directly with Mpika Motel or the booking provider, because we have not verified them: check-in times, whether meals are available, secure parking and whether a late arrival can be held. We could not confirm current trading status from a dated first-party source, so check the property is open for your dates before committing to the route.

We do not publish fixed rates for Mpika Motel, because pricing and availability change with dates and demand.
