THE LAST SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH
The LUSAKA PARK RUN is an opportunity for you to make the most of our well-marked and maintained nature trails in a car-free, clean-air environment just minutes from the heart of Lusaka city.
The LUSAKA PARK RUN is a fun family friendly social run facilitated through the GRI Wildlife Discovery Centre, where you and your family/spectators can enjoy elephant viewing, educational wildlife displays, kids activities and playground, with shopping at the COLLECTIVE and refreshments at the BUSH CAFÉ. In addition to an array of antelope and bird species, Lusaka National Park is home to two White Rhino with Ranger escorted viewing opportunities throughout the day (Speak to DNPW staff at the gate for bookings and more information).
