Project Description

The Munda Wanga wildlife Sanctuary is home to a large collection of different species of wildlife. Most of these animals are endemic to Zambia. The Sanctuary houses a large number of animals that have been saved from illegal pet trade or found injured due to poaching or other types of animal-human conflict.


Home to 45 different species of animals.


Focused on educating children about the environment.


Placards provide visitors with information about each animal.


The animals are generally rehabilitated and then released back into the wild in an area where they will not be safe.


Mr Ralph Sander, a colonial civil servant, first developed the garden to include a sanctuary for new species to Zambia and a place where young Zambian sculptors and artisans could display their skills. In 1968 the gardens were sold to the Government and a large piece of land was added and developed to house a collection of animals. The different animals are kept in their own fenced areas and the environment is kept as natural as possible. The sanctuary gives children an opportunity to see wild animals face to face rather than in a book or on television.
