Also a litle over a half hour from the CBD, this peaceful retreat founded as a botanical garden in 1950 is these days a cross between the original 500-species botanical garden and sanctuary for rescued wildlife, including giraffes, lions, monkeys (including the rare Zambian blue monkey, found in the wild only in one region of the country), ostriches, and pangolins. Best times to visit are during the animal feedings at 2 pm Friday through Sunday.
