The Plains are home to hundreds of red lechwe, ubiquitous puku, stately roan and the diminutive oribi. Lichtenstein’s hartebeest, herds of wildebeest, zebra and buffalo make for a full set of antelope.
At 22 500 sq km, Kafue National Park is one of the largest National Parks in Africa. In the extreme north of the Kafue lie the Busanga Plains – one of Zambia’s most significant wetland resources and one of the few areas in the world that remain untouched by development and human activity.
The beauty of the park is evident in its diverse habitats with floodplains, miombo woodland and open grassy areas called dambos. 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.
Great emphasis has been made on the “guided” experience - being led by qualified, enthusiastic people with in-depth knowledge of the area and its wildlife. Guests can enjoy game drives with us in the Busanga or they can choose to go out on game walks. A combination of the two is probably the most popular activity.
ROOMSShumba Camp comprises six spacious luxury meru safari tents on raised platforms with breathtaking views of the surrounding plains.
DININGDinners served in a traditional style boma under the stars, overlooking the Busanga Floodplains or indoors.
