Experience the intrigue of the flora, fauna and local cuisine found on stunning, private Monkey Pools on this nature adventure! This fun will include meeting some of the wildlife of the inner Lusaka National Park, and exploring the Chifwema Arboretum, and learning about the unique history of our 250+ waterfalls, forests and indigenous trees.
Crossroads Shopping Mall
- Conveniently situated in Lusaka's suburbs, Crossroads Shopping Mall is across from the South African Embassy, Lake Road School, and Urban Hotel. You will be spoiled for choice with 32 stores. This contemporary shopping center has a large selection of apparel retailers, banking services, a bureau de change, and dining options.
MukaMunya is a gated community estate with 64 one-hectare plots situated in a stunning, lush natural setting on Leopards Hill Road. It was established as a park. The most breathtaking natural phenomenon in Lusaka is their natural pools! They also feature swimming pools and lovely, tranquil grounds.
At 6,715 hectares, it is the smallest national park in Zambia. The park is home to over a thousand different species, such as pangolins, axis deers, warthogs, giraffes, eland, sable, kudu, blue wildebeest, waterbuck, black lechwe, impala, puku, bushbuck, reedbuck, and white rhino.
Chifwema Arboretum seeks to be the “go to place” for all things related to trees in Zambia. It is a living museum of indigenous trees and plants,which covers an area of around 30 acres where the natural vegetation is Miombo woodland, dominated by Brachystegia, Julbernardia and Isoberlinia species.
These places have a variety of alternative foods, but the nshima is the staple food and it can be eaten with any meats or veggies. I hope you like it!
