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 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. 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. There are large herds of Puku, Lechwe and Wildebeest that roam the floodplains of the Busanga. With that there is a variety of other plains game ranging from Zebra and Buffalo to Roan and Oribi. There are resident prides of Lion, and Cheetahs frequently hunt on the wide-open plains. Wild Dogs are occasionally sighted. Hippos come out of their deep-water channels to graze on the fertile floodplains. The birdlife is certainly an attraction for many people visiting the Busanga Plains.
