Busanga Bush Camp - Zambia

Luxury Safari Camp

Location

Standard

Set in the heart of the Busanga Plains, the camp is a 1h45 light aircraft flight from Livingstone, or a 1h20 light aircraft transfer from Lusaka, and a 3 hour game drive transfer will take you into camp from the landing strip.

Accommodation

The camp comprises 4 well-appointed tents with great views of the spectacular floodplain in front of the camp. The main areas of the camp include a dining room and bar beautifully situated under a canopy of majestic trees. Most meals are served out in the open for guests to immerse themselves and appreciate their natural surroundings - food just tastes better outdoors!

The camp is nestled within a well vegetated island of trees, and is perfectly situated to take in large numbers of plains game and their predators, lying as it does at the centre of the territory of a resident pride of lions! Day and night drives are offered.

KAFUE NATIONAL PARK
This is the largest Zambian National Park, covering an area of 22 500 square kilometres (the size of Wales), with over 150 species of mammal recorded in the park. Renowned for regular sightings of lion as well as leopard, wild dog, elephant, buffalo, cheetah, hippo and large numbers of plains game from zebra, wildebeest, lechwe, puku and sable... you will not be disappointed. The birding too is phenomenal. The Basunga Plains in the northern section of Kafue, where Busanga Bush Camp is located, is a vast mosaic of grassy seasonal floodplains and 'dambos' (open grassy areas that occassionally fill with rainwater) that support a fantastic variety of wildlife.

Busanga Bush Camp is best incorporated into a 'greater' Zambian safari circuit package. We have put together a suggested 7 day safari package, namely 'The Great Zambian Journey' making use of two camps within the Kafue National Park of which Busanga Bush Camp is one, and the other is Lunga River Lodge, with one night in Victoria Falls Livingstone to take advantage of the adventure activities on offer here. This is a highly recommended safari package as the accommodation and service is excellent, as is the game viewing.

The Zambian safari circuit has 'opened up' in recent years, with increased air access, as well as new/entirely renovated and revamped camps within the National Parks by private business, who realise the potential of this remote, vast and romantic wilderness where game viewing is dynamic.

Our Zambian safari package takes in two camps within the Kafue National Park, however should you wish to include other camps within Kafue itself, or include the other Zambian National Parks (Lochinvar National Park, Lower Zambezi National Park, South Luangwa National Park) into your safari, please do speak to one of our consultants, who will guide you on the best option available at the time of year you wish to travel, as the National Parks are heavily influenced by the rainy season.
