Eureka Camping Park — Hotel in Lusaka Province

The place is awesome in many ways. It is well situated away from the hustle and bustle of Lusaka city. A good 15-20 kms to the south of Lusaka CBD along Kafue road. It's in the tranquil environs of Makeni Bonaventure. It sits on a reasonable piece of land where one can relax as many transiting tourists and campers do. There are a number of animal species one can see on the bush side, while the other side boasts of horses in stables and a motocross part where international competitions for a variety of bike classes are hosted. Accessible at a small fee, there's a bar with a pool table and tvs, a small-sized 1.3m deep swimming pool more for cooling off than real swimming, there's nice ablutions, sleeping chalets, outdoor sitting, a grill/ braii area and ample parking. Though the animal species are few, among those that could be sighted are Zebras, giraffes, monkeys, kudus and some impala/ kudu of not mistaken. The place as in a number of them in Lusaka boasts of serious mosquitoes and some housekeeping intervention would do in that regard in terms of repellants and insecticide dispensers. The menu also took forever to come. Service could be polished accordingly. Overall, the place is fantastic and great for relaxation with ample fresh air good for team building, authors, campers, working on projects in an uninterrupted environment. I highly...

We went out to Eureka for the day with with family (the teens designation doesn't work). The major aim was to ensure that my niece and nephew could see a Zebra and Giraffe, since they hadn't had that experience before. It was fun to be able to stroll the park, there's a loop where you can walk to see the game. Plenty of herbivores to go around. Pretty views. One a hot day, it's worth noting that there is no shade. ||After our walk, we hung around the common space near check in, where there is a bar and facilities for self brai (or BBQ). They had nice t-bone, chicken, sausages, and pork and do not allow outside food. You can order sides or salads, as well. The chips were delicious. They have ice cold beer, soda, and water. This area of the campground is green and lush. Monkeys wrestle and play around...and generally don't bother you unless you get a little too close to their territory. There are seats and picnic tables, a plenty.||If you like, you can play games in their bar area or set up a pool game. We simply sat and talked and relaxed. ||I can't review the lodging or camping accommodations, but we'd...

I opted to tent camp rather than spend the money for a room upgrade. The rooms were austere (which I don’t mind) with an opening along the top of the wall for circulation. The opening is covered by chicken wire to keep our big things but bugs can easily pass through. You’re guaranteed to need the mosquito net but if used then you lose some of the air movement from the fan. I felt I’d either bake in the hot night or get eaten alive by mosquitoes. I found it best to stick with my tent.

Pleasant surprise…I was on a video call and heard something behind me. I turned around to find zebras grazing. They were so close I could nearly touch them. I just quietly watched them while finishing my call. The person on the other end of my call was amazed that I was standing next to wild zebras while on video chat 🤩😎. I was in awe!

The pool was wonderful. The water was so cold I thought it was chilled. I don’t know how it was so cold but I loved it!! After traveling for 8+ hours in the bus with 98 degree temps (33-ish C), jumping in cold water was just...
