Wilderness Shumba Camp Busanga Plains Kafue

Shumba Bush Camp, situated in the pristine Busanga Plains of Kafue National Park, offers an exclusive and luxurious safari experience. This intimate camp features spacious, elevated tents with panoramic views of the plains, renowned for their exceptional wildlife, including lions, cheetahs, and large herds of antelope. Guests can enjoy expertly guided game drives and seasonal boating excursions. Shumba Bush Camp promises an unforgettable retreat into Zambia’s wilderness.

Enjoy 360 degree views of the unspoilt wilderness from your raised chalet at the trailblazing Shumba Bush Camp, a luxurious tented safari camp in northern Kafue National Park and an industry leader in top end Zambian safaris.

Feel forever in awe of the compelling biodiversity of the Kafue northern plains as you explore the rarely visited Busanga Plains where numerous red lechwe, puku, roan and oribi graze. Seek out the endangered Lichtenstein’s hartebeest and see African wild dogs running in packs through the waving grasslands. Shumba means lion in the local language and there are many of these charismatic hunting cats to be seen here.

At Shumba Camp, the focus is on experiencing all the highlights of this authentic wilderness and one of the best ways to do this is from a hot air balloon. This silent flying game viewing is one of the highlights here and promotes extensive game viewing opportunities from on high over the entire Kafue and Busanga plains. 

Shumba is an earthy seasonal camp that closes during the rainy season from December until May.
