Where in Africa shall we go?

A Wilderness Sanctuary Amidst the Endless Plains
Set beneath the shade of sycamore fig trees on a remote island in the Busanga Plains, Busanga Bush Camp offers an authentic and exclusive safari experience in one of Africa’s last great wildernesses. This intimate camp, hidden within Kafue National Park, provides unrivaled access to vast floodplains teeming with wildlife, from great prides of lion to herds of puku, lechwe, and buffalo, all against a breathtaking backdrop of golden savannas.

The camp features four spacious tented suites, designed for both comfort and immersion in nature. Each suite is elegantly appointed, with an en-suite bathroom, open-plan living area, and a private veranda offering panoramic views of the misty floodplains at sunrise. Raised on wooden platforms, the camp’s elevated walkways allow guests to move seamlessly between the main lounge, dining area, and viewing decks while minimizing environmental impact.

Dining at Busanga Bush Camp is an experience of its own, with gourmet cuisine served under a canopy of lantern-lit trees or at the open-air dining deck, where guests can enjoy sunset cocktails overlooking the plains. Traditional bush breakfasts and fireside dinners enhance the feeling of being completely immersed in nature, while an expert team ensures impeccable service throughout the stay.

Days at Busanga Bush Camp are filled with exceptional safari experiences, including expert-led game drives through lion country, birdwatching expeditions, and seasonal hot-air balloon safaris, offering a once-in-a-lifetime aerial perspective of this remarkable ecosystem. With over 500 bird species, the region is a paradise for ornithologists, while predator-rich plains provide some of Zambia’s most thrilling wildlife encounters.
