Busanga Bush Camp, Zambia

Left

Busanga Bush Camp lies in the heart of the Busanga Plains in Zambia's Kafue National Park, a vast mosaic of expansive grassy seasonal floodplains that extends to the horizon. The camp, hidden in a well vegetated tree-island of sycomore fig trees, can accommodate eight guests in four well-appointed tents. Located in the epicentre of a pristine wilderness mosaic this small tented camp epitomises the concept of 'wild' while delivering exciting wildlife encounters and incredible birding. Thanks to the rising mist off the floodplains as they dry up in winter, guests can experience incredible sunrises and sunsets, with the sun a spectacular pink colour, while the floodplains and dambos teem with wildlife and birds; the Plains provide some of the best lion viewing in Africa.

Location

Busanga Bush Camp is approximately a 1hour 45 minute flight from Livingstone to the North Kafue and an approximately a 1hr40 minute flight from Lusaka. From the Busanga airstrip guests are transferred by helicopter (approximately 6-7 minutes) to the camp.
