What is Munda Wanga Mini Zoo (ZITF)?
During the annual Zambia International Trade Fair (ZITF) in Ndola, the Department of National Parks and Wildlife sets up a miniature of the renowned Munda Wanga Wildlife Sanctuary at the trade fair grounds. The mini zoo allows families to see and interact with a variety of animals, including ostriches, zebras, vultures, and the King of the Jungle — the lion and his lioness. Head tour guides are on hand to explain the animals’ qualities, and the fair reserves special trading and entertainment days for young people.
