Busanga Bush Camp is a small, intimate camp with four double en-suite rooms positioned in pairs either side of the main building. The tents and main building are constructed at ground level offering guests a genuine bush experience. Those in need of a little more comfort can stay at Shumba Camp, which is located just 15 minutes away.

A fire pit is situated close to the main building, ideal for those cooler evenings, and a boma lit by paraffin lamps provides the setting for evening meals. Located just around the corner is the lookout point, which offers guests superb views of the plain to the front of the camp. Lions seem to love this place and visitors are well advised to take a quick look around before leaving their tents!

Busanga Bush Camp is situated on a fig-tree-covered island in the heart of the Busanga Plains in Northern Kafue National Park and accessed by air from Lusaka (1.5 hrs flight time) or Livingstone (2 hrs flight time). The open plains are not home to annoying tsetse flies, which are all too often found in the rest of Kafue National Park.

Kafue National Park covers an area of 22’400 km² which makes it one of the largest parks in Africa. The northern part of the park is home to the spectacular Busanga Plains, which flood during the wet season and gradually dry up again as October approaches. As the dry season progresses and the surrounding water holes dry up, more and more wildlife find their way onto the plains. Most camps open in May/June and close again in November when the rains arrive.

Chongwe River Camp is beautifully situated on the river of the same name and offers nine standard tents and two luxurious suites, the Albida Suite and the Cassia Suite.

The private deck invites guests to sit and watch the wallowing hippo.

The airy and very charming main building with bar, lounge and small curio shop stands under a canopy of shady trees. Dinners are usually served next to the open-air camp fire with fantastic views. Boats used for various water activities on offer at the camp are also moored here. A swimming pool - a bit further away - can be used to cool off during the hot months.

The tents come with a washbasin and toilet (electricity and warm water are available around the clock); the shower and a unique bathtub are open-air. The tents are open during the day and if requested, the canvas sides are rolled down at night.
