Experience intimate, seasonal safari luxury at Busanga Bush Camp on Zambia’s wildlife-rich Kafue floodplains.
Location: Busanga Bush Camp sits at the heart of the Busanga Plains in Zambia’s Kafue National Park. Open only from 1st June to 31st October, the camp takes full advantage of the dry season, when the vast floodplains transform into an open, game-rich wilderness. Mornings often begin with mist lifting from the grasslands, offering some of the most atmospheric photographic moments in Africa.
Rooms: The camp has four reed-and-canvas tents, each with a spacious en-suite bathroom and large beds. Simple, comfortable and thoughtfully positioned, each tent opens onto sweeping views across the plains. This small scale makes it ideal for couples seeking seclusion or private groups looking to hire the camp exclusively.
Amenities: The relaxed central lounge and bar area form the hub of the camp, with open-air dining when weather allows. Meals are fresh and unpretentious, often served under the stars.
Activities: Expert guides lead day and night game drives and walking safaris. Wildlife is especially active during the dry season, and Busanga is known for its resident lion prides, often spotted climbing trees. Birders will find plenty to enjoy, with over 500 species recorded, from Wattled Cranes to Longclaws and storks. Hot air balloon safaris offer a breath taking aerial view of the plains.
Sustainability: Busanga Bush Camp is seasonal and low-impact by design, built using natural materials and operating off-grid to minimise its environmental footprint.
