Nestled within the captivating expanse of Kafue National Park's celebrated Busanga Plains, Wilderness Busanga Bush Camp exudes enchantment, remoteness, and intimacy. Resting upon an ash tree island, it offers a sanctuary within the heart of one of Earth's wildest, most unspoilt regions. As Zambia's oldest protected area, sprawling over 2.25 million hectares, Kafue National Park is a testament to nature's grandeur. Here, guests are granted access to 600 square kilometres of seasonally inundated grassy floodplains, ripe for exploration on exhilarating game drives or tranquil boat rides.
Prepare to witness the majesty of roaming wildlife, including pods of hippos, amidst the backdrop of an exceptionally diverse birdlife sanctuary. Wilderness Busanga Bush Camp is open for a limited time between 01 June and 31 October each year, so booking in advance is advisable.
The Busanga Plains is renowned for its abundant wildlife, particularly its pride of lions, wild dogs, and cheetahs. These predators are attracted to the vast numbers of plains game that roam the area, including puku antelope, red lechwe, buffalo, and wildebeest. Additionally, guests can spot the elusive roan antelope, which forms a resident herd in the region.
