The 5 Best Things to do Good for Big Groups in Lusaka, Lusaka Province
Lusaka, the capital and largest city in Zambia, can be a confusing and chaotic place for visitors not familiar with its unplanned neighborhoods and streets. Busy stores and shopping centers line Cairo Road and the surrounding area. Nearby covered markets sell anything from souvenir figurines to spare engine parts. Just south of Lusaka is the Munda Wanga Environmental Park, which features botanic gardens, a wildlife park and sanctuary, picnic areas, swimming pools, and a relaxing terrace bar.

We have been self-driving and camping around Zambia and had a very enjoyable three night stay at Mvuu Lodge exploring both the lower Zambezi and the Chiawa Game Reserve that’s on their doorstep. With our teenage son, we paddled canoes on the Zambezi, took a boat ride which got us extraordinarily close to elephants drinking and playing in the river, and had a couple of game drives with their enthusiastic young guide Akim. Hosts Brett and Lynne are hearty, larger than life characters who go the extra mile to make sure you have a truly memorable experience. We camped but also ate good food at their river deck restaurant. The fact I don’t eat meat was no problem. This was one of the best of many different experiences on our trip, which varied from community campsite to exclusive safari experiences at a few hundred dollars a day. Can thoroughly recommend!

Went there with my mum who was visiting for a long weekend. Spent great time doing a little safari and enjoying the company of the cheetahs. The team at cheetah walk is great, they share the story of how and why the cheetahs are there and it’s q great opportunity to get up and close to these beautiful animals.

Our visit to kalimba was very lovely, the outside space is beautiful and very covid secure. The crocodiles were fascinating and I learned a lot about the different snakes. The cafe sells snacks and we bought crocodile meat and kudu home for the freezer to braai later.
