Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

You can self drive in the park but we took the game drive option and it was the best decision ever. We got so much information from our driver about the animals.

We learned a lot about the challenges facing national parks, the animals and the staff. Everyone we met was friendly, knowledgeable, passionate about their roles and willing to share with us.
The orphan elephants were wonderful to watch - feeding and playing. The Discovery Centre was interesting and a great experience for kids.
There is a picnic area with a viewing tower in the park. The animals in this park are gradually being extended. We didn't see the Rhino but did see giraffe, zebra, impala and the baby elephants ranging from 9 months to over 2 years old. It was easy to get to and close to Lusaka.

We are there for 4 hours and SAW NO ANIMALS- They have the elephant feeding around 11:30 am but get there early because you will miss it -does not last long.
They do have a nice education area and cafe. We were hoping to see the Rhinos but they had both passed away so basically it was not a rewarding trip for us.

In the park itself we only saw a couple of impala and a dazzle of about 9 zebras.
However the discovery centre was excellent. We were really impressed! It’s interactive and very informative. The elephant nursery feeding time was interesting and we enjoyed hearing their stories and learning about them.

A small national park close to the capital, which now hosts the elephant orphanage following its relocation. If you can be there at 11:00 you'll get to see the bottle feeding - if you're 30 seconds later you'll miss it! The information centres outlining the other national parks are partially open, and those that are seem very informative.

When we arrived at the park we headed for the elephant sanctuary. Walking to the water hole we came very close to a giraffe - amazing. We then spent an hour watching the elephants enjoying their milk then playing in the enclosure before driving ourselves around the park. On this drive we saw another giraffe more elephants, plenty of deer and lovely views from the platform at the picnic area.

Lovely to see the elephants and learn how they are cared for. But they tell you to drive yourself around the park, and I was sure our car would break down before we were through. Very many large rocks in the road that our driver had to maneuver around. I do not recommend driving in your own vehicle, unless you have a Jeep or something like that. We saw no animals other than the elephants.
Admission to the park itself was minimal, but to see the elephants (the only thing worth seeing) is $15 US per person. Steep.
There's also a very nice display about wildlife geared towards kids but interesting to adults as well.

Lusaka National Park (LNP) is located off of Leopards Hill Rd. /152. Drive South East and pass the boom and take a right onto Chifwema Rd. (You will see lots of billboards, including a sign for Lusaka National Park.) Follow this road and then turn right into the gates (no fee) that go in to the Economic Zone.
Continue following signs for either Lusaka National Park or The Discovery Wildlife Center until you see the brick gated entrance (fee) to the park. Roads are paved until you get to the park entrance and then they turn to hard packed dirt. Once inside the park, follow signs to The Wildlife Discovery Center until you come to the large, unpaved parking lots (car park). You don't need a SUV to drive to the Wildlife Discovery Center (GRI-WDC) but you do if you want to drive around the park.
(If you have a suitable vehicle, you can drive around the park looking out for the 9 giraffe, impala and other animals. But the earlier in the morning you go, the better.)
Around 11:30, you can get a mini tour of the huts. We got a great tour from Emma. Ask her about the stinky rope!
The feeding of the elephants is at 11:45, every day. The actual feeding lasts about 12 seconds because the elephants chug their bottles down fast. But then you get to watch unobstructed from above as they play around in their boma, splashing, shoving each other around and playing in the dirt.
Oliver, the head "Mom" stays with you inside the covered viewing area (accessible by a slightly steep ram, with 2 chairs and a wheelchair ramp located inside on the left!) and answers any and all questions you have.
When you've finished viewing, if you missed the mini-tour, or just want more time, do stop at the other huts and look at the exhibits. There are lots of touch and feel exhibits for the kids. (Can you find the animal skull with dead parasites on it? The giraffe leg bone?)
A lunch or snack at the Parkside Cafe is a must! (I had the chicken with lemon wrap and it was delicious!) My friend's tweens had smoothies.
Do take a peek at The Collective (a branch of a local store in town) which has high end items from around Zambia. (Pro tip: If you want to buy something that says Lusaka National Park on it, ask for the magnets or posters from Inhouse Design.)
The WDC is stroller (pram) friendly with white crushed gravel paths. All buildings are either level or have ramps, including the bathrooms with flush toilets. (While the ladies' bathroom does have one WC stall that is larger, I'm not 100% sure a wheelchair could pass through the opening. There is no diaper changing table.)
Flip/flops or sandals are good enough to walk around the WDC and I didn't feel like I needed any mosquito repellent. However, you may want long pants, sturdier shoes and bug spray if you go on the Nature Trail.
A friend pointed out that the magic of seeing the baby elephants up close, is that that would never happen on a game drive (safari) . They would be hidden or surrounded by their elephant Moms. (He also liked listening to all the squeaky noises they make.)
Want to do a game drive AND see the elephants but don't have the right vehicle? Game Rangers International is offering a great deal! Email them at: events AT gamerangersinternational DOT com.
The GRI-WDC website has all the details about pricing. Both the GRI-WDC and Lusaka National Park have FB pages that they update regularly.
(You can also adopt an elephant, which would make for an amazing present. See the GRI-WDC website for details.)
Note: There are no longer any rhinos anywhere in the park. Ask the staff in the WDC to hear the tragic tale. UPDATE: Oliver said that the park is working on getting new rhinos into the larger park!

A lovely place to visit the orphan elephants up close. It’s inspiring to see how much thoughtful care goes into ensuring their health and safety. It’s also heartbreaking to hear the stories of how they got there. I love how the male keepers refer to themselves as “mothers”. This is the top attraction in Lusaka!

Hii, I would like to ask what the entry fee is and if it’s child friendly as we are looking into coming for a school trip. You immediate feed back would be highly appreciated

It is about 45 min drive from the main city.We reached in the afternoon so all the animals were in hiding.Didnt see anything.Just some birds.We were in vehicles and spent 30 min driving within the park.Tough luck.

Not very many. Mostly antelopes and they have an area where two white rhinos are kept in an enclosed area. Otherwise this is not a game park where you should expect to see the big 5.
