Eureka Camping Park

Lusaka


The grassy campsite here, shaded by big trees, is popular with overlanding groups. The security is good, while the swimming pool and bar (which sells burgers and breakfasts) are nice touches. There are braai facilities for cooking and charcoal for sale. Chalets are cool and comfortable and modelled on the traditional thatch hut. It’s about 12km south of the city centre.

There is an abutting walkable safari area with animals that don’t want to eat you.

Minibuses from the City Bus Station or South End Roundabout go past the gate.
