Kalimba Reptile Park
A bit of a schlep northeast from town, Kalimba Reptile Park is not only a crocodile and snake zoo (not for petting!), but is also a pleasant place to grab a beer and a crocodile sandwich, though you'll need a 4WD to get there. To get there, go east on the Great East Rd 13km from Arcades. Then make a left at the Caltex filling station, take the road to the end (11km) and the park is on the right.

Lusaka City Market
The Lusaka City Market is large and lively, but not as atmospheric (or smelly) as the Town Centre Market.
-
Munda Wanga Environmental Park
Munda Wanga Environmental Park rehabilitates all sorts of animals for re-entry into the wild, unless they are too injured. The park features plenty of regional flora and fauna, including two cheetahs and seven lions, though the American black bear (a gift from Kenneth Kaunda) looks a little out of place. For visitors, the pool, bar and braai grills are welcome additions. It's about 16km south of central Lusaka.

National Museum
Though there's not much to see, the downstairs galleries in the National Museum offer a perfect snapshot of Zambia, both past and present. Highlights are the displays of contemporary Zambian paintings and sculpture. Upstairs are exhibits of cultural, ethnographical and archaeological interest; don't miss the display about witchcraft.

Soweto Market
The Soweto Market, close to the Lusaka City Market, is the largest market in Lusaka, but is more functional and lacks the traditional ambience of the Town Centre Market or Lusaka City Market. This is one place where you are most likely to be relieved of your valuables - so be careful.

Sunday Market
The Sunday market at the Arcades Shopping Centre features artisanal goodies that are a step up in quality from markets elsewhere.
-
Town Centre Market
The Town Centre Market is chaotic and, frankly, malodorous, but fascinating. Zambians get their bargains here, whether it's fruit or veggies, new or secondhand hardware, tapes or clothes. The market is relaxed and tourists don't get hassled.
