Looking for something different to do with the kids in Lusaka this November? Malo ya Mitengo at Chifwema Arboretum is where adventure meets learning — an outdoor experience that gets children off screens and into the wild.
For one morning, the arboretum becomes a living classroom. Kids aged 6 and up become little nature detectives, tree experts, and bush explorers as they wander through Zambia’s indigenous woodland. They’ll spot butterflies, identify local trees and plants, and learn how Lusaka’s natural ecosystem works — all while having real, muddy, hands-on fun.
Parents love it because it’s educational and eco-friendly. Kids love it because it feels like pure adventure. It’s the kind of weekend activity that reminds families just how special Lusaka’s outdoors really are.
Malo ya Mitengo has quickly become one of the most popular children’s activities in Lusaka, especially for families looking for outdoor learning experiences that blend curiosity, creativity, and nature.
