Shumba Camp is raised on wooden stilts above the seasonally flooded Busanga Plains, a genuinely dramatic setting within Kafue National Park’s remote northern sector, accessible only by light aircraft or a long overland transfer.
Elevated tented suites on raised platforms, each with a private deck looking directly out over the open floodplain.
A strong, contemporary dining programme served with panoramic floodplain views, consistent with Wilderness’s broader portfolio.
Game drives across the Busanga Plains’ open floodplain, one of the most productive and visually striking game-viewing areas in Zambia.
The Busanga Plains hold significant lion prides adapted to hunting across open floodplain, alongside large herds of red lechwe, puku, and a substantial wattled crane population.
The floodplain’s flat, open topography and termite-mound punctuated horizon create some of the most distinctive wide-angle landscape photography anywhere on the Zambian safari circuit.
Wilderness’s Busanga operations support ongoing lion research and habitat protection in one of Kafue’s most ecologically significant wetland systems.
