Busanga Plains are vast floodplains in Zambia – more reminiscent to the Serengeti than Zambia’s bush – and are situated in the country’s largest reserve. This rustic camp with luxurious touches is a great base for exploring the vast meadows of bushland, filled with grazing antelope, birds and hunting cats.

About Busanga Bush Camp

The camp encompasses a spirit of a truly authentic safari and the warm hospitality of Zambia. Guests at Busanga Bush Camp get acquainted with the plains on day and night game drives; enjoy misty mornings and pink-tinted sunsets. Seasonal boating is also available at the camp and there’s also the option to go on a hot air balloon ride.
