点评:The rain stopped in morning and we had few hours to burn.We were craving some' green therapy ' after all that traffic of Lusaka so decided to go to Kalimba.
And I am glad we went.
The road to Kalimba is in good condition.There is hardly any dirt road as it's close to main road.Good parking space.
The ticket is K 120 for adults. The reception area has displays with various local.products as well at products made from.crocodile skin and fat.There is a freezer where you can but crocodile burgers and crocodile kebabs.
Outside the reception is a well maintained lawn with a lot of gazebos and benches to relax.On the right side are the snake enclosures.By this time one of the employees came to guide us and we are glad as he explained the habits of snakes from brown snake to black mamba.
The python pit and Gaboon adder pit are out in open as these are non climbing snakes.
I feel it's important for our kids to be exposed to all the information about snakes as they are important for a healthy ecosystem.
There are enclosures for baby Nike crocodile,snout nose luapula crocodile.leopard tortoise and Chameleon.
We proceeded to see the huge Nile crocodile in the 4-5 ponds which are well fenced.
All around the ponds were white egrets which were nesting in this season and you could see the white greyish fluffy babies too.
You can do fishing with the locally made fishing rod.
There is restaurant which offeres good choice of food- even had a vegetarian cheese tomato bun for me.
Overall a good experience and parents should bring their kids here to teach them about reptiles.
翻译:早上雨停了,我们还有几个小时的空闲时间。在卢萨卡经历了漫长的交通拥堵之后,我们渴望一些“绿色疗愈”,于是决定去卡林巴。
很高兴我们去了。
通往卡林巴的路况很好。由于靠近主干道,几乎没有土路。停车位也很充足。
成人门票是120克瓦查。接待处陈列着各种当地特产,以及用鳄鱼皮和鳄鱼油制成的产品。那里还有一个冷冻柜,可以买到鳄鱼肉汉堡和鳄鱼肉串。
接待处外面是一片维护良好的草坪,上面有很多凉亭和长椅供游客休息。右侧是蛇类饲养区。这时,一位工作人员过来为我们讲解,我们很高兴,因为他详细地介绍了从棕蛇到黑曼巴蛇的各种蛇类的习性。
蟒蛇池和加蓬蝰蛇池是露天的,因为这些蛇不会爬树。
我觉得让孩子们了解蛇类知识非常重要,因为它们对健康的生态系统至关重要。
这里有专门饲养幼年尼古拉斯鳄、长吻鳄、豹纹陆龟和变色龙的围栏。
我们随后去看了四五个围栏严密的池塘,里面养着巨大的尼罗鳄。
池塘周围都是白鹭,它们正值筑巢季节,还能看到毛茸茸的灰白色小鸟。
你可以用当地制作的鱼竿钓鱼。
这里有一家餐厅,提供各种美食——我甚至还点了一份素食奶酪番茄面包。
总的来说,这是一次很棒的体验,家长应该带孩子来这里,让他们了解爬行动物。
