Environmental Education Centre

The education department would like to invite your school to participate in new educational programmes at Munda Wanga.

Our programmes incorporate base curricula, such as maths, reading, writing, and social science to reinforce what they learn in school. A day out at Munda Wanga can therefore cater for your personal class needs. We hope this experience will heighten the participant’s senses and appreciation for conserving the flora and fauna species of Zambia. 

Please make the commitment, for your students, toward receiving a full educational experience through our practical activities.

Time Table

9:00     10:00      11:00      12:00      13:00

Munda Wanga has a lot of schools visiting, we therefore kindly ask you to take the following points into account:
·     
All programs are one and a half hours long unless otherwise arranged.
·     
Please arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled time, as arriving late may compromise your educational lesson.
·     
Priorities always go toward schools arriving on time.
·     
All educational programs include a tour of the Wildlife Park and botanic gardens.
·     
Upper basic and secondary students need to bring a pen and writing notebooks.

Educational Programmes
We have a wide variety of programmes on offer:

General Tour
This tour is designed for a school looking for a quick trip to Munda Wanga, or a large group consisting of a range of ages and grades. The tour is very general in its format. Included in the tour of the wildlife park are a video show, and a short lesson in the handling of bio-facts. For no additional cost, one of Munda Wanga’s educators can also provide a guided tour of the botanical gardens upon request.

Teacher Training Workshops
The Education Department welcomes teachers to become ‘Environmental Educators (EE)’ by participating in our teacher training workshops.  We hold annual workshops that deal with different wildlife topics that target various age groups.

Keeper for a Day
