Lusaka National Park

Not a prime location to see animals in the wild. The elephant orphanage was very worthwhile though. The National Park died have a couple of rhinos that are tracked by a team of rangers 24/7, so you will see those, but we didn't see much of anything else.

Quickly growing into a wilderness within Lusaka City! School will benefit a great with day trips. Game Rangers International, together with the David Shepherd Foundation, also have an elephant orphanage within the vicinity.

Great spot for cycling with a nice dirt track and peaceful surroundings. You’ll see antelopes, giraffes, and sometimes rhinos. The rangers are very helpful—yesterday one even rescued us in his Land Cruiser when a bike chain broke. Always a great experience!

Lusaka National Park was a bit disappointing as the entry fee felt overpriced, and we didn’t see any elephants or rhinos, which we were really hoping for. However, the visit wasn’t all bad the rocks were the best part! They were tall and aligned vertically, making them super fun and adventurous to climb. It’s a nice place for hiking, but not the best if you’re going mainly for wildlife viewing.

Newest and smallest National Park near Lusaka, many wild animals including Impala,Kudu, Giraffe and captive two white Rhino, we took a two hours safari, a bit disappointing,but for sake experience one can visit if time is the constraint, a fee of $30 person is charged, Elephant feeding takes place but on certain timings, as this Park away from city, it is advisable to engage a return trip taxi or drive own car, also wear a cap and carry water bottle.

To be honest, it was refreshing to go to a national park so close to home yet as remote as you would want a park to be. We had a 2hr game drive split up with a visit to the elephant nursery! We saw enough wildlife to make the visit a great experience. The guide, Catherine was very informed and hospitable. Some pleasures are best experienced, I highly recommend a visit.

This is a sanctuary for orphaned elephant calves located about a 30-minute drive from Lusaka. The young elephants play innocently. It's truly a wonderful place to visit. I highly recommend coming here.
