How to get there:

South from Lusaka on the Kafue Road, turn off into the road to Livingstone. In Mazabuka, the Mwana-chingwala Conservation Area office is located in the Mazabuka Municipal Building, a left turn at the intersection by Shoprite, and on the left. You will be given directions, information about the park, and appropriate maps at the Conservation office. You also can take a bus from Lusaka to Mazabuka.

What to take:

mosquito repellent, good walking shoes, camera, binoculars, water, sunscreen, any comestibles you might crave, and a blanket to spread out your picnic on.

When to go:

Because much of the park is a flood plain, the best time to visit would be during dry season months: April through October.

Health:

Malaria danger: Since this is a riverine area, the mosquito population is significant and appropriate measures must be taken.
