Zambia's newest and smallest national park sits about 30 kilometres east of the city centre, making it easily accessible for a half-day excursion. Despite its modest size, it holds a solid selection of species: white rhinos, giraffes, zebras, blue wildebeest, eland, warthogs, and a variety of birds. The landscape is open savanna with patches of woodland — attractive in its own right even without the animals.
Guided game drives run in the morning and late afternoon, which are the best times for wildlife viewing. Self-drive is also permitted. The park is not as spectacular as Kafue or South Luangwa, but it's a genuine wildlife experience within reach of the city — and the rhinos alone make it worth the trip for most visitors.
