There’s something special about spending an afternoon surrounded by creativity — the smell of paint, the hum of conversation, and the joy of simply trying something new. That’s exactly what I experienced at the recent Chasing Creative Session hosted by Maison Studio — a hands-on event designed to spark imagination and connection.

Just 30 kilometres southeast of Zambia’s bustling capital lies a hidden gem — Lusaka National Park, locally known as Paki ya Lusaka. Though it’s one of the country’s youngest and smallest national parks, this 67 km² sanctuary offers a surprisingly rich wildlife experience just minutes from the city.

Lusaka’s social scene turned pink and gold at the exclusive Amarula Raspberry Launch Party — a celebration of Africa’s bold spirit and vibrant flavors. Hosted poolside at Lilayi Lodge under the warm Zambian sun, the event was the perfect fusion of elegance and adventure.
