Chisa Busanga Camp

Chisa Busanga camp is located in the heart the Kafue National Park’s Busanga Plains, overlooking vast flood plains and dambos that teem with wildlife.

Built in a great location, on a small tree-island close to the centre of the Busanga Plains, Chisa is small, smart and innovative – both in its design and your activities.

Rooms ( Nets) -Tented tents

Inspired by the stunning surroundings the rooms are all built like a nest up in the tree canopy! With thatched walls you can snuggle up in your very own birdhouse with views across the plains! The design makes you feel like Tarzan of the jungle or as if you are in a raised hide, allowing for prime wildlife viewing. Of course this is a bucket list experience for birders! We love the unusual concept, making the wilderness feel even more wild!

The Nets  ( sleeps 2 )

This bushcamp’s four tree-house nests are comfortable and stylish: cosy bubbles with luxurious creature comforts and great views.

Our four Nests blend seamlessly into the wild outdoors, while paying attention to the creature comforts needed inside for a luxurious nesting and sleeping experience.

Hidden away in the trees, the Chisa Busanga Nests weave together luxury and romance while immersing you in the enchanting wilderness of the Busanga Plains.

One of our rooms is equipped with an electric lift to ensure it is accessible for anyone visiting our mini paradise.

4 unique rooms inspired by nests of the weaver bird, overlooking the Busanga Plains.

Hot-air Ballooning

E Cruiser Game Drive

Blend into the quiet of nature in our e-Cruiser, which allows you to experience all the sights and sounds of the bush in near silence and with a deep sense of environmental care. Go unnoticed as you watch elephants walking through the mist at dawn, water-loving lechwe jump the streams, and a mother lion feed her little cubs.

Walking Safari

Slow down to nature’s pace as your knowledgeable guide and armed scout leads you on a bush walk that immerses you in the natural beauty of Busanga Plains. Our guides are from neighbouring communities and know the secrets of Busanga in every detail. A maximum of six people can go on a walking safari and the minimum age is 14.

E Mountain bike Safari

Experience the wonders of Busanga quietly and at a comfortable pace from the seat of an electric mountain bike, with an experienced guide sharing their knowledge of the bush. Our guides know all Busanga’s secrets, including spots for breath-taking views and great birding opportunities. As you crisscross through this enchanting landscape on two wheels, you will be creating lifelong memories.

Plunge Pool

Cool off in our camp pool during the hottest parts of the day and look out for an elephant or puku that just may be passing by the camp. The pool is next to the main camp area and boma so you don’t need to go far for an ice-cold drink and snacks.

The ‘sky safari’ is an adventure from above that offers you a bird’s eye view of this remote African wilderness. This experience encompasses all the best things Africa has to bestow on you – gorgeous sunrise views, warm and personable company, and great food.

A HIDDEN GEM

The Busanga Plains, secreted away in the northern part of the Kafue National Park in Zambia, is one of the most untouched wilderness areas in Africa. Within its quietness, this wetland ecosystem bristles with diverse life that makes for a special safari experience.

WILD WETLANDS

Red lechwe leaping across shallow wetlands, lions hunting in golden grasses, and elephants emerging out of morning mist – this is the Busanga Plains experience.

Found in the northern region of Zambia’s Kafue National Park, this remote wilderness is distinct from the miombo woodlands of the park. Instead, flat grassland dambos are dotted with date palms and sausage and fig trees.

As the flood waters recede over June to November, the Busanga Plains become accessible for safaris characterised by outstanding game-viewing, predator action and colourful birdlife.

THE HOME OF BUSANGA

Kafue National Park is Zambia’s largest and oldest national park, and is quite possibly one of Africa’s last great expanses of well-protected remote and pristine wilderness.

REMOTE WILDLIFE REFUGE

Largely unexplored with pockets of pristine bush, Kafue National Park is the wild heart of western Zambia.

Kafue was established in the 1950s by the legendary Norman Carr and is the country’s largest and oldest national park.

THE SECRET OF KAFUE NATIONAL PARK

Hidden away in northern Kafue National Park lies the Busanga Plains, a seasonal wetland ecosystem famed for its wide variety of antelope species and large prides of lion.
