Find us easily
We are situated 21km Lusaka West along the Mumbwa/Mongu road. Coming from Lusaka you will find the Villa-Lucia/Westwood traffic roadblock, once through there look for a big Seedco shed/offices on your right. Past there about 250 meters look on your left for a big painted tyre with Parays written on it. The tyre cannot be missed, once you see it you have reached our place. Food and Drink What to expect
Ideally, we’d love to be able to set up a take away system or a small restaurant but unfortunately, we have not gotten that far yet, we suggest you bring your own food and drinks from home to cater to your
desires. Don’t worry about extra charges for these as our entrance fee covers corkage on drinks and meals from outside. We have sufficient braii stands scattered around our picnic areas which are perfect for cooking your chicken, steaks and burgers.(Braii stands run on a first come first served basis). For enquiries or further information, contact us on 0966845802 or 0971665487.
