Chisa Busanga Camp

Accommodation: 2 nights Chisa Busanga Camp.

Chisa Busanga Camp (“The Nest”) lies on a beautiful island in the heart of the Busanga Plains, Kafue National Park, Zambia; overlooking vast flood plains and dambos that teem with wildlife. The flood plains are mostly inaccessible from November to May as rainfall causes the water level to rise and turns the plains into a flooded paradise. As the water levels subside a vast floodplain crisscrossed by a network of small tributaries is exposed. Accessibility returns in May, making Busanga a seasonal destination, open from June-November. Its remoteness and the most remarkable sunrises as mist rises from the drying floodplain guarantee a magical experience. Signature sightings for this area are tree climbing lions and the red lechwe leaping the small streams. Plentiful Lichtenstein’s hartebeest, buffalo and wildebeest provide for some of the best predator (cheetah, wild dog, lion and leopard) action anywhere in Africa. For the practicing ornithologist, the park boasts a number of endemics, such as Chaplin's barbet, amongst over 450 other species.
