Busanga Plains Camp

720km² of pristine wetlands

Unique By Nature

The Busanga Plains is perhaps one of the most spectacular areas of the Kafue National Park. With sprawling wetlands and a distant horizon, broken up by intermittent ‘islands’ of palm groves, acacias, figs, even papyrus-choked river beds, you are bound to see something spectacular. The wetland ecosystem covers 720km², and hosts an abundance of wildlife; from the birds to the sable, roan and wildebeest to the lions, cheetah and elephants.
Our Busanga Plains Camp is situated comfortably in the shade of the palms and a glorious fig tree on one of the ‘islands’, overlooking a popular waterhole where the local fauna saunter around while having a drink. If you are itching for a better view there is no place better than our raised viewing platform tucked into the branches of the fig tree. On ground level you can almost float on the horizon with our infinity pool, drink in hand.
Let Mukambi Safaris guide you through the Busanga Plains on a trip to a location like no other in Africa, and feel right at home with our professional and friendly staff who will do their best to make you comfortable.

Star Bed - A Dazzling Retreat

There are few things more humbling or awe-inspiring than gazing up into the vastness of a star-spangled night sky (and out in the bush at that). At Busanga Plains Camp we have the star bed on a 4 metre high platform, outfitted with a flushing toilet and basin just below, and handheld radios as well as lights for your safety and comfort.
