BUSANGA BUSH CAMP
Busanga Bush Camp lies in the heart of the Busanga Plains, a wildlife paradise that is situated in the northern region of the Kafue National Park, one of the largest national parks in Africa. The Busanga Plains covers an area of approximately 750 square kilometres and is one of Zambia’s most significant wetland resources, one of the few areas in the world that remain untouched by development and human activity.
Busanga Bush Camp in the north-western section of the Busanga plain is about as ‘wild’ as you can get in today’s world: an unfenced mosaic of expansive grassy seasonal floodplains and “dambos” (open grassy areas that sometimes will fill up with rainwater).
It caters for six guests in three well-appointed rooms with wall-to-wall views of the spectacular wildlife that frequents the plain in front of the camp. The dining and bar area is under the shady canopy of majestic trees. Generally, dinners are served under the stars overlooking the floodplains, or indoors.
Activities include game drives, walking safaris and night drives, led by qualified guides who are extremely knowledgeable about the area and its wildlife. This camp is perfectly situated to see large numbers of plains game and their predators – including some of the best lion and cheetah viewing in Africa!
For those interested in birding, the park boasts 491 species, and include such specials as Wattled and Crowned Cranes, Fulleborn’s and Rosy-throated Longclaws, Lanner Falcon and large flocks of Open-billed and Yellow-billed Storks.
